In its 100th anniversary year, Jobo introduces the SilverBase, the smallest film processor. 

Beginners, laboratories and professionals can all use its modular tank system. With it, Jobo offers the perfect product for those with little space and who usually concentrate on developing B&W films on a tight budget. 

Developing your black-and-white film in rotary processing has never been as easy and cheap as it is now with Silverbase.

 * Its offering essentially is a small processor without a water jacket 
 * Mains power allows rotation of the magnetically coupled tanks in either direction 
* The compact electronic control, including the motor, is enclosed in a small housing that has the exact dimensions of the 1510 tank 
* It only uses half the chemicals as standard agitation development with reproducible results due to the constant agitation 
* Only 120 ml of developer is required per film 
* Silverbase is compatible with all 1500 series and 2520 tanks 
* Tanks are held secure with the 1504 magnet (included)
* Total developing solution for 35mm, 120 rolls and 4x5 sheets (with optional 2520 + 2509n reel)

NB Because the processor does not have a water jacket (to maintain temperature) it is unsuited for colour film processing.

Joshua ★★★★★

Set-up took maybe ten minutes, and the modular tank system means I can switch between 35mm and 120 without buying a whole new machine. Processing a roll start to finish felt almost effortless, even for a first-timer.

Sebastian U. ★★★★★

The rotary action is so smooth that I actually forgot I was processing film manually, and the compact footprint fits perfectly on my crowded desk. Even for a beginner like me, the modular tank system made loading and pouring chemicals feel completely foolproof — this little machine has completely ch

I love how the modular tank system lets me process different film sizes without buying multiple units—perfect for my mixed workflow. The compact footprint also frees up valuable darkroom space.
