Using the developing tank:

Agitation of the processing solutions can be by inversion of the tank using the flexible water-tight cap provided, or by rotary agitation using the agitation rod also provided.

In processing 300 ml of solution is required for a single 35mm film or 500m1 for two 35mm and one 120 roll film.

It is essential that in use, the autoload reels are always used fixed onto the centre column provided. This ensures that the tank remains light-tight during the processing cycle.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Miles O. ★★★★★

The auto-load reels are a game-changer—they click in smoothly and load my 35mm film without any buckling. I processed two rolls back-to-back and the tank stayed completely leak-free, which makes a huge difference in my workflow.

Lucy ★★★★★

Finally, a tank that doesn't fight me — the auto load reels took a 35mm roll without a single kink, and loading the 120 for the first time was surprisingly painless. The two-reel setup means I can develop two rolls in one go, which saves me a solid chunk of time. It’s sturdy, compact, and just works

Miles ★★★★★

Handled a roll of 35mm and a roll of 120 back-to-back with no snags—the auto load reels are a lifesaver. Even with wet hands the spiral loaded perfectly, and the tank uses very little chemistry per film.
