Stainless Steel Developing Tank for 35mm Film
The Adorama developing tank is built from seamless stainless steel that resists darkroom chemicals and provides stain-free purity. Its satin-smooth finish supports practical cleanliness and long service life. This classic darkroom tool is designed for photographers who process 35mm film using stainless steel reels.
Temperature Response Under Continuous Processing
The tank lacks insulating components so it reacts quickly to changes in a water jacket or other temperature-control method. Rapid thermal response helps maintain consistent development temperatures throughout extended processing sessions. Stable temperatures contribute to repeatable results across multiple rolls.
Single-Reel Capacity and PVC Snap Lid
The tank accommodates exactly one 35mm stainless steel reel and does not accept plastic reels. The PVC snap lid forms an airtight seal that shields film from corrosive processing liquids. An integrated pour spout with seal cap allows contamination-free pouring while keeping the environment secure.

Questions about this item

What reel do I need before I can load film into this tank?
You must supply one 35 mm stainless steel reel; the tank does not accept plastic reels.
Can I keep using my existing plastic reels with this tank?
No — the tank is designed for a single stainless steel reel only and will not fit plastic reels.
