AP Developing Tank Mini Compact 35mm

Product Description

The excellent range of AP Compact Developing Tanks has come top in past photographic reviews as the preferred option over Jobo and Paterson. The main reason for this endorsement is that their tanks are so easy to load.

They contain thumb grips on the wide film insert area on the spiral, which is a significant benefit to school or college students and anyone starting film development for the first time. They are made from unbreakable plastic that is heat-resistant, watertight and opaque to light. In our view, the seal on the light-tight lid is better than an equivalent Paterson one, as the plastic and rubber are moulded together.

A small stainless steel ball housed in the film entry track ensures it blocks anti-backwards movement.
This 35mm version contains one spiral which is also compatible with all Paterson tanks on the market.

Please note: The version we offer for sale here has a green lid from our 30th Anniversary Collection.

"Nice little tank solid build and generally easy to use. The outer lid can a be bit hard to remove"

"I like the system, but it is not my "forever" solution. Plus: - seals well - easy to load the film onto the reels - economical for one roll of film - can rotate the middle column as an agitation method Con: - hard to poor the fixer back into the storage bottle. The liquid comes out from all sides, rather than just the middle (Jobo). You need a larger vessel with a spout as an intermediary step, from which you pour the fixer back into the storage bottle. A bit messy. "
