Stearman Press SP810 8X10 developing tank system

A large-format 8x10 inch developing system for under £200 is unusual, but a multi-format one too makes it a purchase worth considering.

Made in the USA, by Stearman Press, it uses tray rocking or tilting for agitation; Just load your film in a darkroom or changing bag, then process in daylight.

It lets you process one sheet of 8x10 film at a time and uses only 18 oz (500ml) of solution during processing. It's daylight safe and fills and drains very quickly.

It can also be used for other formats in that it will also process 2 sheets of 5x7, 2 sheets of 4x10 or 4 sheets of 4x5 or 9x12cm film. This is achieved by configuring the internal layout using the supplied frames which snap into place.

The tray design enables rock or tilt agitation, and its overall size is only 42x31x6cm.
