As an advocate for the arts, photographic film, and darkroom photography, I am super excited that Jobo has developed a brand new film processing system, the CPE-3, aimed at home users.
The new CPE-3 is based on the time-tested design of the CPE-2+, featuring a stronger motor, improved electronic control board, and a new style lift.
This unit is very compact and lightweight. Height 10 in x Width 25 in x Depth 12 in (H 25.5 cm x W 65.5 cm x D 30 cm)
Weight: 6.6 lbs. (3 kg).
Just like all of the previous Jobo systems, this unit is suitable to develop black and white films, color transparencies (E-6), and color negatives too (C-41). I even develop my black and white positive prints in my Jobo as well as my RA-4 color prints.
You are welcome to connect with me on my personal Facebook account where I share behind the scenes updates with my friends and family that I don't share anywhere else. |
The new processor is compatible with all 1500 and 2500 series tanks. This means you can develop 35mm, 120 medium format and 4x5 sheet film by default. If you get a special CL-81 tank from CatLabs, you can even develop 8x10 sheet film with this unit.
The graduates are the familiar 260ml capacity and the bottles are still 600ml.
My plan is to use the new CPE-3 in my Sprinter van for processing film while on the road.
