Solid choice for beginners and pros
As a beginner, I was worried about ruining my film, but this tank makes the process forgiving. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the price point, but you truly get what you pay for in terms of durability and precision.

Consistent results every time
Temperature retention is excellent with this thick plastic. My development times are consistent now because the tank doesn't lose heat as quickly as thinner alternatives. The agitation is smooth and even.

Great tank, learning curve on reels
The tank itself is fantastic and leak-proof. The universal reels took me a few tries to master loading in the dark, but once you get the technique down, it works flawlessly. Definitely recommend watching a tutorial before your first use.

The Gold Standard for Home Development
I have been developing my own film for five years, and this JOBO tank is simply unmatched. The reels load smoothly without kinking the film, and the light-tight seal gives me total confidence when developing in my kitchen. Made in Germany quality is evident in every piece.

Built to last a lifetime
I bought this to replace an old plastic tank from another brand that cracked. This JOBO unit feels incredibly sturdy. The funnel design makes pouring chemicals in and out very clean with minimal spillage. A worthy investment for any analog photographer.

Perfect for 120 and 35mm
Versatility is key for me since I shoot both formats. Switching the reels between 135 and 120 is intuitive. The chemical usage is efficient, requiring only 300ml for a single roll, which saves money on developer over time.
Q: How much chemistry is needed to develop two rolls of 35mm film simultaneously?
A: To develop two rolls of 35mm film at once in this tank, you will need approximately 600ml of working solution to ensure the reels are fully submerged.
Q: Is the funnel cap dishwasher safe for cleaning?
A: We recommend hand washing the tank and reels with lukewarm water and mild soap. While the plastic is durable, high heat in dishwashers may warp the components over time.
Q: Are the reels adjustable for different film widths or fixed?
A: The included 1501 universal reels are adjustable. They can be configured to hold either 135 (35mm) or 120 (medium format) film by changing the spacing of the ball bearings.
Q: Can this tank be used with a JOBO motorized base for automatic agitation?
A: Yes, the JOBO 1520 tank is fully compatible with JOBO motorized bases like the CPA-2 or CPE-2 for automated inversion and temperature control.
Q: Does this come with a measuring graduate for mixing chemicals?
A: No, this package includes the tank, reels, funnel, and cap only. You will need to purchase a separate measuring graduate and thermometer for your development workflow.
