Super8 movie film was always used to capture the special moments in life - prior to the digital video world we all reside in today. Jobo's unique Expert 3018 Tank and Spiral is the only (currently manufactured) manual/home processing Super8 solution that offers professional quality processing.


With the analogue Super 8 film, artistic feelings come automatically the visible grain of the film and unique scratches only seem to enhance the character of the film.


This tank is designed to develop black/white or colour Super 8 film easily! It takes one full cartridge of Super8 film (50ft/15m) and is compatible with all BW and colour Super8 films available on the market.


Roll it on a roller base or use it with any full size Jobo processor. We recommend that if you want to do colour film you use a Jobo processor, like the CPP3, complete with Jobo Lift as only the processor can guarantee the precise time and temperature control necessary for the colour Super8 film.


The secret of success in the Jobo Expert system is that the rotation in processing offers even and accurate results, which are repeatable each and every time.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Lucy ★★★★★

The spiral loads my Super 8 reels without the usual wrestling match, and the tank's build feels solid enough to trust for years of darkroom work. I processed two rolls back-to-back with zero leaks and even timing between inversions.

Carter ★★★★★

Loading the reels was easier than I feared thanks to the spiral’s wide core opening—it guides the film perfectly without kinking. The tank’s tight seal gives me confidence the chemistry will stay consistent during processing. A solid upgrade from my previous setup.

Miles ★★★★★

Finally a tank that handles Super8 reels without kinking or jamming from start to finish. The spiral loads smoothly even with my damp hands, and the chemical flow is perfectly even across the film.
