I did some fiber based B&W prints using the jobo. The first test print resulted in extremely high contrast due to the agitation. I diluted the developer to the point where I was able to control the contrast with filters. I'm from Montreal, and our cold water in the summer is 75F/24C, so 68 was out of the question. So my processing time was a lot easier to control, and didn't need the space for 20X24 trays. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Same here. Back in the late 90's early 2000's, I had access to a Jobo and I did film development and prints and really enjoyed it. Agree nice trip dow memory lane.
My days in a dark room helping out a mate means I know that fixing an under or over exposed image is much easier when developing the negative by simply waving a ruler or in some cases a pencil between the area that needs exposure correction and the lamp when developing, So much quicker than the digital workflow. The best we got was 760 8x10 prints from a single batch of chemicals in black and white in a marathon 3 hour session with about a quarter of the shots needing correcting exposure sometimes highlights blown out other times highlights OK but some areas were under exposed so required longer development time to bring out the details and that was when the ruler came into play so the highlights that were good did not end up blown out as we attempted to fix the shadow details. Sounds difficult but not so hard with practice and a damn sight quicker than doing the digital equivalent
ha very true it is not compact at all. if I didn't have a garage it wouldn't happen and even so, it can be difficult to work around. but the time saving and accuracy make up for it for me.
Hi Graham, greetz from good ol' Germany. I bought a developer box last year, but did not use it yet... - Which developer do you recommend; I am using Ilford HP5 and AGFA APX 100/400.
There is a Cinestill developer that’s great because it’s just 1 step instead of 3. I primarily use D76 for black and white and C41 for color just because it’s easy

Interesting info, appreciate you sharing!

what a great set-up! I don't do enough film to justify having this and don't have the room. Really Nice. Can it make coffee too?
Haha. Ya know, put a filter in it and figure out how to get the temp much hotter and I wouldn’t be surprised
The motor does not spin fast enough to froth the milk....
Absolutely fantastic
Thanks!

Matt day explains how to do double rolls with 120. You masking tape the ends together so there is no over lapping
That’s interesting. Thanks! I haven’t researched it much yet but I’ll definitely look into that. Appreciate it.
He also messed up double rolling in his video….. 😬
@@alistairmerrifield5035 yeah he said he forgot the tape
I'd love a home setup like this, but really don't have the space 😅

@@graham_white I'm in a flat at the moment, but saving for a house, HOWEVER, the misses said the garage is for the car, but we shall see 😂
Do you still use this? Would love to chat!
I do actually. Shoot me an email or Instagram message

@@graham_white Thank, I will give it a try!
Nice video
Thanks again!
You can store your chemicals in a small closet - beware if you've got children - and do the development process in the bathroom.
Ya keep in the dark as much as possible and definitely out of reach
