Paterson Developing Tank - 35mm

The water-tight cap is the star here—no more worrying about leaks mid-development, and the auto-load reel takes the frustration out of loading in the dark. Swirling chemistry feels smooth, and cleanup is a breeze. My rolls come out streak-free every time.

I've been developing at home for a year and this is the first tank where loading the reel feels genuinely foolproof—the auto-load mechanism just clicks along without any film jamming. The water-tight EVA cap also means I can agitate with confidence, no leaks on the kitchen counter.

The water-tight EVA cap gives me peace of mind during agitation, and the reel felt sturdy right out of the box. Loading was straightforward even for my first time developing film.
