"Why is Jobo equipment so expensive?
Or, in other words, why are people willing to pay so much for this stuff?"
You really have to use Jobo to understand. Constant quality, The stuff last for years, very modular. All the tank parts are for the most part interchangeable. I use a Beseler roller for my processing. i have a speed control for slowwww Pyrocat hd developing. I have used all kinds of tanks for film.... lets see..... kodak racks, trays, BTZ tubes (close second to jobo) 4x5 nikkor, FR 4x5 tank <worst.. dental processor, Hope processor.... mmm i believe that covers it.... oh some kinda dip and dunk processor.... i really wish i could buy the rights and manufacture these wonderful tanks here in the states, or maybe china....LOL
I don't particularly like the 2509N with the paddles. But I like the early 2509 reels the work without the paddles. The paddles were added to added to help circulate chemistry. I just use a little more chemistry. For the photographers concerned about the ecology Jobo uses less chemistry than other tank systems.
