Comparative Review of Film Processors

This review was created after 1 reel was developed. I have Patterson and AP plastic tanks for comparison. I would call it a copy of the AP version (sold under different names). All parts are interchangeable, but significantly lighter and thinner. This shouldn't be a problem for normal use, but it looks cheaper in a direct comparison. The drums are a more desirable "big tab" type, smaller than the APs with a slightly different tab orientation. I had no problems downloading it. The leak is real when turned upside down. The red plastic cap is not as tight as the AP cap. All in all a great value as the AP coil is about half the price of this entire kit and leaks aren't an issue if you're excited.

Pros
  • Feature: Equipped with two self-closing multi-format spirals. Simultaneous rotating and undulating movements of the spirals ensure smooth chemical movement inside the tank, which can hold 2 rolls of 135/35mm film or 1 roll of 120mm film at the same time.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
