Hi Lachlan, I've noticed they were slightly different, but can only say that I've had good results with my home built drum. Once the anti halation layer on the back did not dissolve on an old kodak negative. Sorted itself in a post wash and fix. Wish I had the room for tray development though.Originally Posted by Lachlan 717
For those who use the Jobo 2830 for developing 8x10 film can you show me a photo of the inside of your drum? I want to see how the clips are installed when you're developing 8x10 film. I just want to make sure I'm doing it right
I think I might still save up for a Jobo 3005...it looks more convenient lol
Just got my Jobo 2830 tanks in the mail today (purchased off ebay) and I am not sure what I am missing to make this a daylight tank. I only photographed the lids because those are the only things different from each other. Looks like I am missing some parts? Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
You're missing the cup, if it's a print drum it had a cup or a closed light trap that looks like the funnel but with a closed hole like these... (Taken from another LF post)

What you have is the light trap for a film drum, the center funnel hole is open so will leak light unless it goes into a center stem that goes all the way to the bottom. The film reels usually go on the stem.
If you had the stem I suppose you could still use it without reels and put the film against the drum wall.
Another pic the of a cup.
The one cap is for the standard daylight tank. It has the insert with the nipple that slides into the black tube that goes through the film reels.
The 2nd cap is used for the print tank but is missing the "hat" that sits in the same basic spot as the insert for the other tank but it is closed black hat. You can see what it looks like beneath the Jobo lid in this ebay posting.

EDIT - Stone's pic is a lot better.
The Viewfinder is the Soul of the Camera
If you don't believe it, look into an 8x10 viewfinder!

Dang it...I don't have either of those I just have an empty drum...and I already left positive feedback on ebay guess I screwed up
If I just want to develop 8x10 negatives what would I need to find/buy? Is there a parts number I can search for?
Guess I'll just start saving up for a Jobo 3005
It is possible to do it without the cup as long as you're using the little funnel bit you have on the lid. Just make sure you cover the cog lid with your hand and keep it upside down until you put it on the processor.
Check Catlabs for either the long bits for the reel or the little cap for print processing (e.g http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jobo-03049...item3f4358614c). It is best to process in subdued light (in my case West facing kitchen window in a typically overcast Scottish summer. . .).
I'll try to get a picture of where the clips go for you - just about to start a lovely 12hr shift on Live Chat. . . But basically I just use 2 of the plain round ones about half-way down the tank, directly opposite each other.
Yet to get the "Perfect" volume just yet, but it WILL be somewhere above the 100ml printed on the tank (for the 2840 tank which quotes 120ml or 140ml I use around 200ml).
You should try and contact the person from whom you bought the drum. He might have the part and forgot to include it. Never hurts to ask.Dang it...I don't have either of those I just have an empty drum...and I already left positive feedback on ebay guess I screwed up
