Jobo Lab Kit XS

I was nervous about my first develop, but the tank’s twist-lock lid made it super simple and leak-free—I ran two rolls with zero frustration. Everything I needed came in one box, so no scrambling for extra gear before I started.

Developing my own rolls for the first time felt intimidating, but the included 1510 tank made it so straightforward that I was hooked after one session. The light-tight fill port is forgiving for a beginner, and the kit really does contain everything you need.

The tank’s 1510 size is perfect for two 35mm reels, and the included loader makes getting the film onto the spiral way less fiddly than I expected. I’ve now done three rolls and each came out evenly developed with no leaks.
