## Description

Paterson Universal tank and 2 reels 115

Review: Definitely the best system out there! - Paterson tanks are without a doubt, THE tanks to use and have been for a long time now. It is made of highly durable plastic, and is coated so that it won't retain any of the chemicals used (can destroy your processing!) PROS - Light-proofing system is recognized as the best on the market - Film loading ball-bearing system is beyond easy (I practiced twice before a real roll, and got it in one!) - Comes with agitating rod for multiple styles of agitation during processing - Adjustable reel for 35mm, 120mm and three other film sizes. Easily snaps into place. - Will not lock if seal is not proper, forget leaks they won't happen with this tank! - Maybe it was just luck, but I received two reels with my order? CONS - Sealing lid is a little tough to press down when you are using time-sensitive chemicals So this set-up cost more than my stainless steel 35mm and 120mm tanks combined, however in my opinion it is totally worth it! The ease of use makes it a pleasure to use even in the dark, and I have never had negatives stick together (unlike my stainless teel tanks...ugh). ADJUSTING THE REEL Once you know how, this is VERY easy. I didn't have instructions with my purchase (an oversight I was assured) and there really aren't any resources on the web. To adjust the reel for 120 film etc, hold both sides of the reel and turn clockwise with force. You will hear a squeak and a click, at which point you can pull the halves apart to adjust. Once you have it at the desired width, turn the opposite way to lock, again waiting for the squeak and click! And you're done! If you're still developing film in 2012 (good for you), join me in using this excellent set-up for great results every time.
Review: SO SO SO SO SO needed - The Paterson Universal Tank has become an indispensable asset in my film developing journey. Its thoughtful design and sturdy construction ensure a secure and light-tight environment for my film during the development process. The ease with which I can load and unload film, along with the efficient use of chemicals, has significantly improved my workflow. This tank's versatility and capacity to accommodate various film formats make it a must-have for any film photographer. Its reliable performance and consistent results have elevated the quality of my developed negatives. The Paterson Universal Tank has earned its place as a reliable companion in my darkroom, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow film enthusiasts seeking a dependable and efficient film developing solution.
