Good for beginners
As someone new to developing sheet film, this kit provided everything I needed. The instructions could be more detailed, but online videos filled the gaps.

Perfect for mixed format shooting
I shoot both 35mm and 4x5 sheet film, and this tank handles both effortlessly. The stainless steel reels are smooth and don't scratch the emulsion. Great value for the price.

No leaks, easy cleaning
Used this for C-41 and B&W processing. No leaks during inversion, and the wide mouth makes cleaning out residual chemicals very easy. Highly recommended.

Great alternative to expensive brands
Works exactly like my old AP tank but at a fraction of the cost. The compatibility with Jianjiabao reels is a huge plus since I already owned some spares.

Solid build, slight learning curve
The tank is very sturdy and light-tight. It took me a couple of tries to get the sheet film loaded correctly in total darkness, but once I got the hang of it, development was flawless.

Reliable workhorse
I've processed over 50 rolls in this tank in the last three months. The seals are still tight, and the plastic shows no signs of chemical degradation.
Q: Is the measuring cup graduated in milliliters or ounces?
A: The included measuring cup features dual markings for both milliliters (ml) and fluid ounces (oz) for convenience.
Q: What is the maximum temperature this plastic can withstand?
A: The tank is designed for standard photographic processing temperatures up to 30°C (86°F). We do not recommend using it with boiling water or extreme heat.
Q: Can this tank develop two rolls of 35mm film simultaneously?
A: Yes, the tank includes two reels and has sufficient capacity to develop two rolls of 135 film at the same time.
Q: Does this come with a funnel for pouring chemicals?
A: The package includes a measuring cup that can be used for pouring, but a separate dedicated funnel is not included in this specific bundle.
Q: Are the reels compatible with older Paterson systems?
A: While the dimensions are similar, these reels are specifically designed for Wigobol, Jianjiabao, and AP systems. We cannot guarantee a perfect fit with vintage Paterson tanks.
