Overview
Development Tank for 135, 120 and 127 Films with 2 Spirals Steel Balls in Guides Mixing Rod ABS Plastic Black for Darkroom

The development tank with a pair of spirals is a practical essential for anyone who wants to develop negatives at home or in a small darkroom. Both spirals are compatible with films 135, 120 and 127, so you can use the tank for both cine film and roll film. The container can hold two 135 films or one 120 film, allowing you to process two cine films in one cycle. The tank is suitable for beginner analogue photographers as well as those who already have experience with developing. The set also includes a mixing rod, which allows you to mix the chemistry during development without opening the tank.

The spirals are precisely crafted using CNC technology, ensuring that the film is loaded smoothly and steadily. The guides of the spirals contain stainless steel balls, which prevent the film from slipping back while winding. The bottom of the tank has a wavy shape, which ensures that the film comes into full contact with the chemistry during mixing, allowing for an even reaction. The body of the tank is made from ABS plastic, which is resistant to acids and bases, and the minimum volumes of chemistry for each type of film are marked on the bottom.

Wind the film onto the spiral in the dark, ideally in a dark bag, then place it in the tank, securely screw on the lid, and you can take the tank into the light. Prepare the developer and fixer in advance according to the recommended dilution and pour and drain the chemistry as quickly as possible. During development, regularly rotate the mixing rod to ensure the chemistry is evenly mixed. As the red lid is not sealing, do not invert the tank upside down. You can also develop it by rolling, but you need to monitor the amount of chemistry. Only develop films with the same development time at once, and pay attention to the water temperature during washing.

This tank offers a simple and accessible way to develop your own negatives without visiting a photo lab. The two spirals for 135, 120 and 127 films cover the most common formats used in analogue photography. The precise spirals with steel balls make loading the film easier even for those just starting out with developing. Mixing is done by rotating the mixing rod 360°, ensuring the chemistry stays inside and the tank does not need to be inverted. The durable ABS plastic and marked chemistry volumes make this tank a reliable assistant for any home darkroom.
