35mm film developing tank kit
A light-tight plastic tank with spiral reels that lets you develop film in normal room light after initial loading. Processes 1-2 rolls per session and pays for itself after 5-10 lab orders.
What to look for
- 1Processes at least 2 rolls simultaneously
- 2Adjustable reels for both 35mm and 120 film
- 3Clear volume markings for chemistry
- 4Watertight seal (but don't invert during agitation)
- 5Heat-resistant plastic rated to 120°F
Skip
- Single-roll tanks (inefficient for regular shooting)
- Designs requiring full tank inversion (leak risk)
- Reels with difficult film-loading mechanisms
Used for: Home film processing to cut per-roll costs · Custom development for experimental techniques · Processing bulk-loaded film · Learning analog workflow control
