Antonio Bunt Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I've been craking my head to find ways to build a processing tank for 100' loads of 16 mm film and some on-line resources are fine but in my Third World country there are several materials that are not found at all. Lomo tanks are not an option, racks are way too chemical consuming and the classic bucket renders results that are not satisfactory for me. I found this site: http://www.redsharknews.com/production/item/1978-opinion-why-i-prefer-to-shoot-film,-even-for-digital-delivery where almost by the end the author writes that a he adapted a rack for aJobo tank. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavan Deep Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) I have written that article, you can find images here; http://www.lightbreeze.co.uk/Processing.htm It's relatively easy to adapt a Jobo drum for Super 8 as you're dealing with 8mm wide film that's approximately 50ft. With16mm the film is wider [16mm wide] and twice as long 100ft approx. I have been working on a solution and think the only way is to have a Lomo spiral in a custom built automated tank and not use the Jobo, where the chemicals are automatically poured and drained and the spiral spins automatically.

Antonio Bunt Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 http://www.peaceman.de/blog/index.php/inexpensive-super-8-home-processing-tank By seeing your site, Have you ever made a video showing how the tanks works and/or some results?

You'll have to ask the owner of the webpage yourself. ;-) The owner is "Friedemann Wachsmuth". He's also a member of this forum: http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showuser=47833 AFAIK some of his films on Vimeo are processed by himself in his tank: https://vimeo.com/peaceman/videos/ Edited September 10, 2014 by Joerg Polzfusz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
