I still occasionally shoot color negs for personal work, and when I do, I tend to shoot, say, 20 rolls of 120 film at once (travel / documentary work). The processing costs add up at the lab.
So I'm considering getting a used Jobo CPP2 and processing at home. Will this ultimately be a money saver? Let's say I shoot and process an average of 15-20 rolls of 120 every three months (and only process once every three months). Will the chemicals go bad, so that my saved lab fees are dwindling due to wasted chemicals? Are there other factors to consider? I'm assuming the chemicals are fairly cheap to buy.
thanks in advance,
