For Sale FS JOBO CPE-2 PROCESSOR

Simon Benton · Mar 17, 2012

I am selling one of my Jobo CPE-2 processors. This one works perfectly and has all the measures and 600ml bottles. Comes with a 2830 tank to process 5X7 and 8X10 sheet film. Also uses the 1500 and 2500 series tanks to process 120 and 4X5 - these are readily available on Ebay. Runs on 120 volt - I live in Ottawa, Canada so would be perfect for local pickup as it is a bulky item. Photos to follow once I get my digital camera back.
$300 plus shipping.

re: JOBO CPE-2 PROCESSOR

Just starting to do some research on jobo units, would like to start developing 120/220 and 35mm film only. Is the cpe-2 suitable for E-6, C-41 and B&W? If I understand correctly, temp is most critical with E-6, so is the temp control accurate/stable enough? Which tanks/reels would I need for 120/220 & 35mm?
I am in Ottawa as well, so no shipping issues anyway!

The Jobo CPE-2 is a very good processor for E6 and c41 - the temperature control is very accurate. For 35mm and 120 you will need the 1500 series of tanks. I have some spare 1500 tanks with 35mm and 120/220 reels and can include at extra cost.

I am certainly interested in the processor, and tanks... just doing a bit more research into the feasibility of home processing, are the results good/consistent enough to warrant doing at home. I'm definitely a darkroom "newbie", I gave up on a home setup when I went digital years ago! My plan as of now is just to develop the film and scan...

The results of doing your own E6 and C41 are absolutely consistent enough to justify doing it yourself at home. Some people here assume that colour is too difficult, but as long as you are reasonably careful with temperatures, times and chemistry, your efforts will be rewarded.

I totally agree. I do E6 and C41 at home and am very satisfied with the results. After a while, it becomes second nature and is very easy!

I have a 1520 tank with a 120/220 and 35mm reel, centre core, magnet and top I can include for an extra $50.

I've done a lot of color, both E6 and C41, in my Jobo CPE2 back in the 90s, with consistently excellent results.

Thanks to all who chimed in! Look forward to participating in this great group.
Sounds like the way to go for me... Simon, your price seems fair, so if we can arrange to meet, let me know. PM me, or email
