Poor design

I do not recommend The coils in the developer tank are really poorly made. They tend to wind the film back into the exit groove instead of advancing it to the next groove. I ruined three rolls of film because of this wrong design. The thermometer doesn't work either. So look elsewhere. Even if it works, buying this "kit" won't save you much money compared to what you would pay for high-end hardware.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

Good starting point.

This kit has just about everything you need to process color film. Basically what you are paying for a Patterson tank, many of the other accessories are great examples of what you need but definitely "examples" of these entry-level items. This. Get a real box of gloves and the timer will be a bit cheap. If you purchase a CS41 chemistry kit and mix all the bottles in that kit, the beakers and measuring cups in that kit become redundant. The brown storage bottles go great with the CS41 set.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I'll add later

Not for beginners

To be honest I have not used this product, partly due to the lack of instructions. I looked through posts on the internet to understand how to use this kit. The problem I haven't been able to solve yet is how to modify the reel(s) to take 120 film. I don't want to break the plastic so I'm asking others. This kit comes without instructions for use and the magnifier is completely different from the one pictured. All documents are in Chinese, which I don't read. As with any other photographicโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some minor issues
