I already had a water panel but the JOBO promotion that gave a substantial discount on a water panel when purchasing an ATL 2300/2400/2500 is over as of Dec. 31. The 2400 is replacing a British Wilkinson rotary processor that I have had and used since the early 70's. I was going to buy an ATL-2300 new but my dealer had an ATL-2400 in stock that was demo'ed once and I got a substantial discount plus full warranty. Couldn't turn it down. Has battery back-up so the California power shortage and rolling blackouts won't ruin any of my film. Tina, I have always used Kodak 6-step E6 but I am curious what you use? Jim
