For chemical, I am standardizing on Kodak C-41 LORR one shot (i.e. non-reusing the developer) with separate bleach and fix, and of course using the Jobo. Hopefully this will give me the consistency I need, at least regarding the chemical. Best thing is that it's actually less expensive to use than the more widely available Tentenal or Maco C-41 and it has the major advantage of separate bleach and fix. Major minus is that I can develop only up to 4 sheets at a time as it needs 250ml of chemical per sheet and the Jobo tank can only hold up to 1L. However, since I have multiple tanks, I can do one tank followed by another tank the same session. The strobe colors in theory should be consistent from the Profoto, but I suspect that the ambient lights are throwing things off at times. I have no control over those as I am often giving a room in a hotel or convention space with who-knows-what lighting. I would be interested in a color temperature meter, please email me off list. Not sure what you mean by a strobe head. I do have 3 donated Profoto D4 heads but if it helps me with my photos and save post processing time, I am all for it.
