Samigon Stainless Steel Developing Tank with Reel for 1x 35mm Film
The Samigon Stainless Steel Developing Tank with Reel is a durable, reusable solution for developing a single roll of 35mm film at home or in the darkroom. This complete set combines a stainless steel processing tank, plastic lid and matching 35mm stainless steel reel, giving you the essential equipment for holding your film during chemical processing.
Stainless steel developing tanks are a popular alternative to plastic systems thanks to their robust construction, compact size and ease of cleaning. The included spiral reel keeps the film separated during processing, allowing the chemicals to circulate around the film for even development.
Why We Like It
Stainless steel tanks are a great long-term investment for anyone regularly developing their own film. They're hard-wearing, easy to rinse and quick to dry between processing sessions. We particularly like this single-roll set for photographers who prefer to develop one film at a time, without needing a larger tank.
There is a little more technique involved in loading a stainless steel reel compared with some plastic alternatives, so we'd recommend practising with an old roll of film in daylight first. Once you've mastered the technique, it's a straightforward and reliable way to process your negatives.
