AGO Time Compensation Film Processor

Unlock the future of film processing with the AGO Film Processor! This innovative tool simplifies home development for black and white or colour with temperature-adjusted time compensation algorithms. It uses rotary processing to save up to 60% on chemicals and offers Wi-Fi for custom programming and updates. With a two-reel Paterson tank included, it's perfect for 35mm and 120 films. Plus, its battery-powered operation runs for up to five hours, making it ideal for enthusiasts.

Key Features:

  • Time compensation black and white or colour film development
  • Reduced chemical consumption
  • Compatible with 135 full frame and 120 medium format films
  • Pre-made and custom programming

Time Compensation

AGO is equipped with a temperature sensor and clever algorithm which adjusts time according to the temperature of the chemicals giving you more flexibility. You no longer need to meticulously maintain the chemical temperature; you just pour in the chemicals within the right temperature range. AGO takes care of the rest by continuously monitoring the temperature and automatically adjusting the processing time during the process, guaranteeing consistently perfect negatives every time.

Automated Agitation

Featuring both horizontal rotational and vertical stick agitation modes, while we typically recommend the rotational mode for its chemical efficiency and compatibility with time compensation.

You have the flexibility to adjust the default agitation speed and intervals for both agitation modes according to your personal preferences.

Reduced Chemical Consumption

With rotational agitation you can save up to 60% on chemicals depending on your use case and the size of Paterson tank you decide to use. For stick agitation mode, the chemical volumes are 290ml for 135 film and 500ml for 120 film. You can also find this information for each Paterson tank model in the respective user manual.

WiFi connectivity

You can connect to your AGO with Wifi to modify and create your own programs for processes and keep the software updated.

John I. ★★★★★

Finally, a processor that keeps the chemistry at a steady temp without me hovering over it constantly. The time compensation feature is a lifesaver—no more guessing when the room gets a bit chilly.

Sofia T. ★★★★★

After struggling with inconsistent temperatures in my basement, this processor has been a game-changer—the temperature compensation actually works perfectly. I just ran my first roll of HP5 through it and the negatives came out incredibly even.

Ella ★★★★★

I’m the kind of person who dreaded temperature drift ruining a roll, and this processor’s built-in compensation actually kept my black and white negs consistent even in a chilly basement. The compact size means it disappears on my shelf between sessions, and the whole workflow felt far less fiddly t
