Review on πŸ“· Paterson Multi-Reel 5 Film Developing Tank #117 by Andy Mitts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for 3D development

I bought this because I foolishly tried to dry my previous (identical) tank with a blow dryer and deformed the B-pillar a bit in the process. The drums will go on, but the banging will not. To complete development within a day, I was able to get that same-day Prime delivery, which was pretty cool and meant I didn't have to drive to B&H or Adorama. This 5-reel tank is perfect if you're doing the same thing - like Tri-X in Rodinal. Note that you should also purchase the Paterson Auto Loading Reel (Pack of 6) #120 - you can never have too many reels, especially if you have a lot of work to do in one day. Spools are the slowest to dry and are probably the only part that needs to be really dry (otherwise the film will stick).

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Obsolete
