Overview
Modular CombiTank 1530 Development Tank for 135, 120 and 127 Films with 3 Spirals for Home Film Development

The CombiTank 1530 development tank is designed for photographers who wish to develop films at home or in a small darkroom. It can hold up to three spirals and, thanks to the universal spirals, can handle film formats of 135, 120 and 127. The tank consists of two modules, allowing it to be used in a lower configuration for two spirals or in full height for three spirals. According to the manufacturer, the tank body does not leak liquid, so inverting during development occurs without any chemical spillage. A clear volume table for chemicals for individual formats and numbers of films is printed on the side of the tank.

The spirals feature small steel balls at the film entrance, which prevent the film from being pulled back, and eight side supports, allowing the film to smoothly enter the grooves. The positioning plate facilitates film loading, and after inserting the first roll of 120 film, simply press the red clip to wind a second roll onto the same spiral. The spirals are compatible with the Jobo system, allowing you to combine them with older spirals of this type. When inverted, 240 ml of solution is sufficient for one film, and 240 ml is also needed for rotation in the 1520 configuration.

  • Contents – development tank with two modules, lid and central tube, and 3 spirals

The film is loaded onto the spiral in complete darkness, either in a darkroom or in a light-tight changing bag. Trim the end of the film, feed it from the flat side under the projections, and alternately rotate both halves of the spiral to wind it until the end. Then cut the spool, finish winding the remaining film onto the spiral, attach the spiral to the central tube, place it in the tank, and close the tank with the lid. Pour the developer using the funnel in the lid and continue mixing according to your procedure. After development, rinse the tank and spirals with clean water and allow them to dry thoroughly before loading another film.

The Modular CombiTank 1530 with three spirals is a practical foundation for any home darkroom for those who want to take film development into their own hands. One set covers both roll film and sheet film, and depending on the number of films, you can choose a lower or higher configuration of the tank. For three roll films at once, prepare 700 ml of solution, making it easy to plan chemical consumption. Spirals with steel balls assist beginners in film loading. The tank is suitable for developing black and white negatives in home conditions as well as in club darkrooms.
