Thanks to all the studios that went comletely digital, I got on my
hands a JOBO CPA2+LIFT set (with all the tanks and reels), full of E-6 musch
and gunk, for under 100 Euro. Finally all these undeveloped B&W films
in the drawer will "see the light of day" :)
for those who don't know it, it's a very nice film and print processor
(semiautomatic).
I have few questions to the JOBO users here:
1) do you prerinse? I tried prerinse of ~4-5min on my B&W, then
developed as normal Emofin times for rotary processing. The negs were
good. But I don't know if other developers will need it too.
2) Rodinal - I have heard it's doesn't go well with rotary dev?
3) if Rodinal doesn't work well with it, it will be a problem, because
I use only Emofin and Rodinal, nothing else. Rodinal for the nice
tonality and compensation, Emofin for speed. Any good tips for similar
developer good for rotary dev?
4) What's a good way to clean the tempering bath, it's full of E6 gunk
and mush. I cleaned lot of it with mild acid, and it worked very well
for the tanks and reels, but not so well for the bath.
Thanks
Frantisek
