Its a relabelled Durst Filmetta.

This small wonder can do anything as long as it is a 3-bath process.
Presoak and washing steps do not count into the 3-bath-Process, water is
taken out of the waterbath.
Every part of the process is programmable, not in %, but as exact as in
1-second steps. Each step. Temperature range von 18=B0C to 40=B0C. =
Rotation
speed also full adjustable. The processor is fully automated, i.e. after
having stored the program (9 program-channels) you literally just hit
start - after some time the machine says "beep" and you take out your
film.
For a long time a was dreaming of an autolab (ATL3), but since I own the
Filmlab, the ATL is no longer something I think of.
I am doing E6 (Tetenal 3-bath), C41 (Tetenal) and mostly BW (Pyrocat HD)
in 135 and 120. Everything works perfect. Pyrocat-processing needed some
fine-tuning, but now it works like a breeze.
The reels are Paterson-Style and much easier to load than their Jobo
counterparts.

HTH,
