Hello,
the Photokina is coming (September), and the first companies are already out with new products or statements concerning future developments.
This is the case with Jobo, too:
Besides their new CPE-3 film processor they have also just introduced three new lab-kits for (mainly) BW film development. Main part of the kits is a Jobo developing tank (type 1510, 1520, 1540). These kits are offered in three sizes (S=small=1510, M=medium=1520, L=large=1540) plus lots of accessoires, and you get a price advantage of about 40% compared to buying the parts of the kit alone. Attractive for beginners and also those who want to "upgrade" to a bigger development tank.
The new CPE-3 is less than half the cost compared to the CPP-3, but you can develop all film formats up to 4x5" sheet film and even paper up to 30x40cm.
E6, C41, RA-4, BW negative, BW reversal: All possible at highest precision.
And Jobo has renewed their commitment to film. I quote: "......There is a film-photography revival. And we from Jobo are convinced that film will not only have a safe future, but furthermore will gain greater importance in the coming years. We have made our decision: We invest in the photographic medium film!"
You will find all the details here:

I had the possibility to visit the factory some months ago (in my function as an author of the film photography print magazine PhotoKlassik): I was very impressed by the commitment of the staff and the quality of the production process. They are producing in a manufactury style with both very high skilled hand work and high precision modern machinery.
It's a family owned business in the third generation, and the current owner is very proud to continue the work of his grandfather and father. He wants to continue the heritage of Jobo. And he is also an enthusiast film photographer, too.
Best regards,
Henning
