Ars-Imago M-Box for Lab Box
The Ars-Imago M-Box is a motorised agitation accessory designed specifically for the Lab Box daylight developing tank. It automates the agitation process during film development, helping you achieve more consistent and reliable results with both 35mm and 120 film. Compact, well thought out and easy to use, it is a natural upgrade for anyone looking to refine their home developing workflow.
Why We Like It
If you are already using the Lab Box, the M-Box makes a noticeable difference to both consistency and ease of use. Manual agitation can vary from roll to roll, especially for beginners, but this system removes that variable by delivering controlled, repeatable movement throughout the process. It is particularly useful when working on important rolls where even development across skies and flat backgrounds really matters. It also frees you up to focus on timing and chemistry rather than constantly rotating the tank, which is a welcome improvement during longer sessions.
