Paterson tanks are without doubt the MOST tanks in service and have been in service for a long time. It's made of high-strength plastic and coated in a way that won't trap the chemicals used (may ruin your finish!). PROS - The light protection system is considered to be the best on the market - The ball bearing film loading system is very easy (I practiced twice in front of a real roll and did it in one!) - Comes with a stir bar for multiple stir modes during processing - Adjustable spool for 35 mm, 120mm and three other film sizes. Easy to fit - Won't close if gasket isn't compliant, forget about leaks, there aren't any with this tank! - Maybe it's just luck, but I received two spools with my order? Time sensitive chemicals. So this setup costs more than my 35mm and 120mm stainless steel tanks combined, but I think it's worth it! Ease of use also makes it comfortable in the dark, and I've never had negatives stick together (unlike my stainless steel tanks. ugh). I didn't have a buying guide (a mistake, I'm assured) and there really aren't any resources on the internet. To adjust the film spool for 120 film etc., grasp both sides of the spool and turn clockwise firmly. You'll hear squeaks and clicks, at which point you can pull the halves apart to make adjustments. Once you get the width you want, twist it back to lock in place, wait for the squeak and click again! And you did! If you're still developing film in 2012 (good for you), join us and take advantage of this excellent setup to get great results every time.
