With the Paterson Film/Darkroom Kit #3, B&H has put together an extensive kit aimed at those who want to explore traditional (legacy) photography for fine art or for those who are curious as to where digital photography began.
The kit includes the Paterson Film Processing Kit comprised of a universal film tank with a reel, three graduates, a stirrer, funnel, cassette opener, and chemistry. Red, White, and black 8 x 10" trays are included, as is a 25-sheet package of lford MULTIGRADE RC Deluxe Paper. For safe storage of your chromes and negatives a 25-sheet pack of archival storage pages is provided, as is a changing bag, and five rolls of Kodak Tri-X 400 film.
An indispensable tool for at-home film processing, the 35mm Film Cassette Opener from Ilford is a simple tool designed to make the process of opening 35mm film cartridges easier. Its dedicated design opens the top of the cassette, making it faster to remove the film prior to loading it onto a reel just before development.
Containing all of the necessary chemistry for developing black and white film, the SIMPLICITY Starter Pack from Ilford contains pre-measured portions of four concentrated chemicals to produce working solutions for processing one roll of 120 or two rolls of 35mm film in a two-reel, 600mL developing tank.
ILFOSOL 3 is characterized by its ability to produce fine grain results with high sharpness and full film speed, and it is particularly well-suited for use with medium-speed films.
ILFOSTOP is a low odor, citric acid-based stop bath that stops the development process and helps to prolong the life and activity of the fixer solution. It is recommended to ensure accurate development times.
RAPID FIXER is a rapid-acting, non-hardening fixer that should not be used with any hardeners.
ILFOTOL is a non-ionic wetting agent that aids in rapid, even drying of film, helps to prevent water spots from forming, and promotes anti-static qualities.
Optimized for developing up to two rolls of film, this Paterson Super System 4 Universal Developing Tank features a versatile and compact design that holds up to two 35mm rolls of film or a single 120/220 roll at a time.

The Paterson Color Thermometer is designed for color processing due to its accuracy, but can be used with all photographic processes.
This glass spirit thermometer is 12" (30cm) long, and has dual temperature scales from 15°C to 65°C and from 60°F to 130°F.
Accurate to + 0.14°C (+ 0.25°F); Recommended for all color processes.
The well-known Paterson Graduates are made from transparent polystyrene moulded under strictly controlled conditions to ensure total accuracy.
They are of a cylindrical laboratory design giving uniform widely separated markings, calibrated in metric, Imperial and US scales, which are very easy to read.
They are resistant to most photographic chemicals, and come in five sizes, each with accurate, easy to read markings.
22oz (600ml)
The Paterson Chemical Stirrer is an ergonomically designed mixer that is specially shaped for efficient stirring and incorporates a particle crusher.
It is invaluable when making up solutions either from liquid concentrates or from dry powdered chemicals.
The Paterson Film Clip Set comprises of one weighted clip and one unweighted. The weighted clip is used at the bottom of the film to hold it straight while drying.
Stainless steel pins grip the film securely to ensure that the film is held tightly while drying.
The Paterson Changing Bag is an essential piece of equipment for your darkroom. It is one of the most simple items to use and can potentially save you from losing a roll of jammed film stuck inside a camera.

Highly versatile and well-suited for all traditional black and white printing needs, this box of 25 sheets of 8 x 10" Ilford MULTIGRADE RC Deluxe features a glossy 1M surface finish that is smooth and reflective in order to achieve noticeably deep black tones and a long apparent tonal scale. This Generation V paper features an updated emulsion with a more linear contrast profile that responds consistently and accurately to the full 00-5 range of Multigrade filters for fine tuning the look of prints. The paper also features a truly neutral base tint and responds especially well to different toning solutions for adjusting the final print color. The enhanced emulsion also affords deeper blacks along with enhanced mid-tone separation for greater flexibility when printing negatives of varying densities. Additionally, it is suitable for printing both conventional black and white negatives as well as chromogenic black and white negative films and the paper can be processed using standard black and white chemistry in either trays or using machine processors.
Ilford's HP5 Plus Black and White Negative Film is a traditional and versatile panchromatic film designed for general use in a wide variety of shooting conditions. Exhibiting notably wide exposure latitude, this film responds well to use in mixed and difficult lighting and provides medium contrast for greater overall control. It has a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400/27° when developed in standard black and white chemistry, and responds well to push processing. HP5 Plus is a flexible film type that is ideally suited for use in general photographic applications in an array of different lighting conditions.
This item is one 36-exposure roll of 35mm film and is supplied in a DX-coded cassette.
This is a pack of 25 Print File Archival Storage Pages for Contact Proofing Print & Negatives. They have exclusive thin backing coupled with high clarity and allow you to make quality contact sheets without removing or handling negatives.
