The perfect starter kit for anyone wanting to home develop black & white film

Everything required to process 2 rolls of film
Contains ILFORD Simplicity Film Processing Starter Pack
All essential Paterson film processing equipment
Convenient and affordable way to start processing your own film



This co-branded ILFORD and Paterson starter kit contains everything* needed to process your first rolls of film. From a developer, stop bath, fixer and wetting agent to the perfect sized developing tank and measuring cylinders for processing two rolls of 35mm film at a time (or one 120 roll).

The technique to process your own film is simple and rewarding and made even easier thanks to ILFORD Simplicity chemicals which are pre-measured for speed and ease of use. While these chemicals can easily be used in most developing tanks the measurements were based on the Paterson 2-reel Universal Film Development Tank contained in this kit making it the ideal pairing.

The kit contains: 1 x ILFORD 35mm Film Cassette Opener, 1 x ILFORD Simplicity Film Starter Pack (containing developer, stop bath, fixer and wetting agent), 1 x Paterson Universal Film Tank, 2 x Paterson Super System 4 Reels, 3 x Paterson 600ml Graduates, 1 x Paterson Thermometer, 1 x Paterson Stirrer, 2 x Paterson set of 2 film clips.

*A darkroom, light tight space, or dark changing bag will be needed to load the film into tank.

I've been meaning to try home developing for months and this kit finally gave me the push—the included reels load surprisingly smoothly for a beginner. Managed to process two rolls my first evening without any major hiccups. Perfect way to dip your toes in.
