Film Never Die: Introducing the CP800 Film Processor

Just two weeks ago as of writing, the film lab, Film Never Die, of Melbourne, Australia, released the Compact Processor 800 semi-automatic film processor.   Of interest to those who want to do commercial-level film processing, the CP800 can process up to eight rolls of film.  Blanks are provided to save on chemistry when processing fewer rolls. 

This processor has been widely reported on, at 35mmc and Kosmo Foto, for example.  Of note, is that this processor failed at a Kickstarter, but even so, the company pressed on and made the device, albeit with some compromises.  The processor comes with documentation for setting it up and using it.  The controller is an Arduino, and the controller software is open source and available on GitHub.
