Ars-Imago Lab-box リールキット 135

The reels click into place so smoothly that I stopped dreading the loading step entirely, which used to be my least favorite part of processing at home. The kit feels sturdy and well-thought-out for a dedicated darkroom setup, and my last two rolls came out perfectly wound with zero kinks.

I was worried about loading film onto reels in the dark, but the kit’s guide rails made it almost foolproof my first try. The sturdy center core clicks into place reassuringly, and the whole thing fits my developing tank perfectly now.

The loading mechanism is so smooth, I finished spooling my first roll in under a minute without any kinks. It’s such a relief not wrestling with the film, and the reels feel solid — no warping after three uses.
