For Sale FS: JOBO 3010 4x5 SHEET FILM EXPERT DRUM

[Pasto]

I'm continuing to sell off my 4x5 equipment. This is the JOBO 3010 expert drum which can process up to 10 4x5 sheets. The minimum chemistry usable in the tank is 210 ml. I've used this tank for color and B&W with equally fine results. I bought it new about 3 years ago to replace an older version of the same tank, and it's in very fine condition. $350 + Shipping + PayPal takes it.

Explain the difference between this and the reel 4x5 development method? I have the large tank but with the reels instead.....thoughts?

 

[Pasto]

I'm not sure what you mean by large tank? Do you mean a 2xxx series tank? I also have several Jobo 2509N 4x5 sheet film reels that go into the 2xxx series tanks. If you're referring to these then the main difference is the agitation that the film gets. If you're picky about even development, the 2509N real does a good job but may show uneven development around the perimeter of the film, and the development for sheets on the outer ring of the reel is not the same as that for sheets closer to the inside or middle of the reel. The 3010 does an amazing job at even development over the entire film surface.

Forgot to add that the development issue was more important for me with color film than with B&W. Just to make sure I'm not misunderstood, the reel system in the Jobo does a very fine job with sheet film.

I'd also add that loading is much easier and faster with the 3010 than with the reels.

 

[Pasto]

Absolutely Ari. Although after some practice, and with the help of the loader, loading 2509N reels is fine.
