A few 5x7 safelights (mostly Premier) over the last week or so. I’m beginning to think smaller area lights might be more useful than one big one (think Thomas). So now I have both.
So.....you're a Tabby man, Eh.?A vintage 400 AF-I 2.8. I would need a couple men and a mule to get me and that lens into the wild. I'm using to stalk my cats. It's the coolest thing I've ever owned

I have one of these and one of the bigger processors, the CPE is perfect for 89% of what I do. The lift is awesome.View attachment 207078 FINALLY...20 years ago I wanted one of these and at long last I have acquired one! Practically brand new and a bunch of extras such as 6 tanks, a 1520, 1540, 2523, 2551, 2553 and a 2840. 11 reels from 35mm to 4x5. 6-1000mL and 6-600mL bottles and some other goodies.
I have about a dozen or more rolls of 120 just waiting plus a few sheets of 4x5 not to mention several rolls of 35mm. Happy Days indeed!!
Shot another 8 rolls of 120 in the last few days so now I have 22 rolls waiting to be processed. Too many commitments to use the JOBO this week(end) but after that I am ready to go. I did "play" with it and did load a few practice rolls on the reels in a changing bag (PITA) and did quite well, everything works so I'm getting antsy.

If you can avoid the changing bag I would . The humidity plays havoc with loading the reels. Don't forget to nip the tiniest of the corners off the 120 film before loading the reels makes a huge difference. Calm and dry. I cheat I use infrared goggles, you really don't need them, but I love them. When you nip the corners just right and everything is cool,dry and calm the film will just slide right onto the Jobo reels. I don't try to ratchet, I just very gently push the film and it glides right on. Don't nip too much or the film won't stay on the reel. Just a 16th of an inch, a couple 2 or 3 mm.Shot another 8 rolls of 120 in the last few days so now I have 22 rolls waiting to be processed.

+1 on that!Wear disposable gloves whilst loading. I have had zero issues with binding since I started doing this.
That's beautiful! The color head labels? ??I've wanted an LPL 4550 XLG VCCE with the K&IF module for quite some time to get into 4x5 printing. I finally pulled the trigger one one in excellent condition. I also do color so I bought a Dichroic module in brand new condition for $50 off of eBay - the only funky thing about the color module is that the numbers and labels are upside down, but work perfectly otherwise - I wonder how that happened, but for $50 bucks I'll deal with a very minor issue like that. THis one joins my LPL 670MXL (7700) enlarger - they are now siblings.

Maybe it was custom made for an Australian darkroom?Yes,the color head labels and numbers are upside-down. A color head from KBH was many hundreds of dollars (over $500 used and a whopping $1500 new) and this one was billed a new for $50, but fully functional other than the filtration labels and numbers upside down - but it does appear new and works perfectly - just dial to the desired CC number - just a little funky. Have no clue how they got flipped.

I tip my hat to you sir.
When Slovakia builds a photographer, they do it right.
Good Grief...my apologies.....Slovenia.
Sorry about that.
Thanks to the member who contacted me in private.
Well Good then.!No problem, CMoore.
BTW, you are quite right, much is going in in central and eastern Europe, that is not on radar of the predominantly Anglo-American community such as PHOTRIO.
what a beauty! enjoy it.Local dealer had this near-mint condition Nikon F2 Photomic w/50mm f/1.4 Nikkor-S.C, eveready case, and instructions. Made in 1973. This one must have been kept in the case; it's nearly spotless. Only a small handling mark on the base plate. Meter is accurate against my Gossen Luna Pro SBC. This one will get some good use.
