I have owned and used the CPE-2 for over a year to process E-6 with both the Kodak "One Shot" E-6 kit and the Beseler kit with success. I recently started using the unit to process Tmax 100. For the first time, I am getting good negs with Tmax. I think that's saying something because I rarely had any such success or consistency with hand processing. As for reliability, I had to replace the thermostat after about the third month but no other problems. The truth be told, there's not a whole lot to go wrong!(posted 8498 days ago)
