Freestyle will have the new Jobo processor in stock soon

$1700 is a too steep for me. I don't process enough film nor RA to justify getting one. Sure tempted though.

And they also have the CPP3 - the pro-grade version. As someone who relies on his absolutely for day-to-day processing, if my CPP2+ were to die on me, I would order a replacement CPP3 in a heartbeat.

I see they have them "with lift" and "with lift and cogs". What are these cogs?

Scott you would really like the CPP3- and Omer is fantastic with support.

The cogs are tethered collars which are mounted on top of the tank cover, where is the opening for the introduction of chemicals.
When you use a Jobo rotary processor with the "lift", the tank is secured to the lift by the cogs which also transmit the rotary motion to the tank.

The tank remains open during the entire processing, horizontally placed on the upper tray of the Jobo machine.

There are several videos on YouTube demonstrating the use of a Jobo machine with the lift.

WOW, this is a very good news for me, i was dreaming about CPP3 but i can't afford it, now with this i think the dream can be true or happen sooner than later, i may afford this one over the CPP3, the only thing about CPP3 is that it can go up to 8x10, i am not sure when in the future i may go up to 5x7 or 8x10, also CPP3 can print, can this one print too?

I think i have to start saving until i can get the money, once i have this processor and another LF camera then i will shoot film more.

Thank you very much for the link
