At last, I've bought a 10x8" back for my Arca. However, there's obviously going to be a lot more expense. I've just been quoted some prices for a Jobo CPP-2 p rocessor - #995 ($1500), lift #175 ($260). Expert Drum #300 ($450). The only th ing that's reasonably priced is the 'footpump' for opening the Expert Drum - a s nip at #20 ($30).
I suppose I could try to find a secondhand unit, but I've heard bad reports abou t reliability, and I've never been happy about the build quality of my own CPE2.
Which leads me to my question. Has anyone managed to successfully develop 10x8" film in a CPE2, maybe by modifying the lift or something?
I've got used to processing with a Jobo, and I find them quite convenient. I do n't have a darkroom, so I couldn't easily use trays or open tanks. Or is there another way?
