the demise of JOBO -no more!
« on: April 04, 2012, 07:56:02 AM »
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

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.

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).
