Vintage Visual Reel Paper 5 & Reel 5×7 Bundle for AGO Film Processor

This handy bundle combines the Paper 5 reel and 5×7 reel for the AGO Film Processor, giving you the flexibility to process both large format film and RA-4 colour paper in multiple sizes, from 5×7 up to 8×10 inches. Both reels are also compatible with Paterson 5 and 8 tanks, so you can use them with hand agitation if you prefer a more traditional approach.

Why We Like It

If you work with large format film or make colour darkroom prints, this set is an excellent way to broaden what your AGO processor can do. The Paper 5 reel handles sheets up to 8×10 inches, which is ideal if you want to process large format negatives or RA-4 paper without the mess of trays. The 5×7 reel is designed for smaller sheets, but it can also be inserted into the Paper 5 reel to split the chamber, letting you process multiple 5×7 prints at once. Both reels are designed to keep chemical use to a minimum, making them economical as well as practical. The only caveat is that the Paper 5 reel isn’t suitable for staining developers, so if you’re working with those, stick to standard black & white or RA-4 chemistry.

Matthew ★★★★★

Loaded the 5x7 reel last night without any of the usual film curling frustration—fits snug in the AGO processor and develops evenly. The Paper 5 reel handles the smaller sheets just as smoothly. Finally, a combo that makes batch processing feel effortless.

Claire ★★★★★

Finally a reel bundle that actually lets me run both 5 and 5x7 sheets in the same session without constant swapping. The paper 5 reel loads smoothly and the whole thing fits perfectly in the AGO tank.

Ella ★★★★★

I’ve been using this bundle to develop 5x7 sheet film alongside smaller reels, and the Paper 5 reel makes loading the larger sheets surprisingly easy. The two-reel combo fits perfectly in my AGO processor, saving me from switching setups mid-session.
