What kind of price range are we talking about? My problem is that I am very
sensitive to photographic chemicals, due to a massive overexposure in a
poorly ventilated lab, and the lab at my school is *still* poorly
ventilated, as far as I can determine, so that tray processing there is
dangerous for me. (I use the combiplan tank for the 4x5 negatives I make,
but I'm thinking of making some larger negatives this fall.) I am trying to
decide whether to try to set up a well-ventilated tray processing area in my
garage, or go with the JOBO. Which would be cheaper and better in the long
run, in the opinion of folks on this list?
