Thor, If you are doing just B&W, I wouldn't bother with Jobo processors but the drums are great. I own a JoboDrum Expert 3006 drum I use for 4x5 and 5x7 sheet film with wonderful results. It has gearing on the front to be used with some of the Jobo processors but I just use it by itself atop an old Chronomega 'dual action agitator' drum roller. Likewise, I used the smaller Jobo drums for 35mm and medium format. My overall take is that B&W temperatures, etc are not as critical as color and so do not require the temperature bath set up the processors provide. In fact until I got the Chronomega roller, I just rolled the drums back and forth on my kitchen counter with good results.

Among other things, is a Jobo Autolab 1000. It looks a lot like an ATL-1500. He used it mainly for E6, if I get it, I would be using it for B&W. A few questions. Is this processor any good? Recommended for B&W, or is it more appropriate for colour? What would a well used one go for (yes, I've looked over eBay and other places)? While I'm there I plan on picking up an easel or two, extra safelights and contact sheet frames for 35mm, 120 film and 5x7 sheets.
