JOBO! ...so how was that pronounced again? ;D

I can't find anything on JOBO's own website but it seems that they are coming out with a new film and print processor~  8)

That's great news, I always thought there was a market for colour processors. I've been processing my own for many years and I think many more enthusiasts will see it as their best option for getting decent processing.
good find.

PS I don't know if this is correct by my Anglo Saxon tongue pronounced it Joe Bow
There's more to this photography thing than meets the eye.

Spanish? wouldn't that sound like the american version of the British tramp (Hobo)? :-)

I saw this in the latest Firstcall Photographic newsletter/ advertorial.

I thought Jojoba Jobo had left the stage a few years back - obviously not - something to celebrate I think.

I'm hearing rumors from various forums that it'll be about £2000  :o

Possibly Jojoba is the correct spelling because as far as I can see it's nuts.

Resurgence is good news.  Taking advantage and price gouging is not.  This does make me feel hopeful about finding Jobo parts of a long time to come. :)

And the winner or the obscure FW podcast reference is.....Jonas  ;D

BUT....that price tag does suck (if indeed it turns out to be correct).
