    4x5 film developing reel/holder/insert for paterson 3 tank

    Made out of sandblasted aluminum (sometimes carbon fiber), and stainless steel rods, these holders fit a standard Paterson 3 tank. They hold 8 sheets of 4x5 film, and need 1 liter of solution. Other configurations (6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 sheets) are possible. The aluminum is conversion coated, to delay oxidation.

    $65.- each, including USPS shipping within the contiguous US.
    Payment ideally via Zelle, or Paypal (plus fee)

    I've been developing 1000+ sheets with this holder over the years, and have gotten scratch free negatives, even developing, and repeatable results.

    Gentle agitation is key, so as not to dislodge the sheets from their position. Some developers, like HC-110 with Kodak B/RA x-ray film, benefit from constant agitation.
    Loading becomes quite easy after a few practice runs.

    If you wish to order a reel, direct message me with your PayPal info, and I'll send you a PayPal invoice.
