The Arista Premium Plastic Developing Reel is a plastic film reel to be used in the development process. Its Easy Load Film Guide facilitates the load process. This reel will never rust, and it will retain its shape. Designed for use with the Arista Premium Plastic Developing Tank, but it is compatible with the majority of standard, plastic, processing tanks. The reel accommodates 35, 126, 127, 120 and 220mm size films.
I bought these reels expecting them to be easier to load than my Paterson reels, but with 120 film they jam far more readily. More than once the film has bound up partway through loading, and the reel has damaged it. Since the whole point was easier loading, I can't recommend them for 120. I've gone back to my Paterson reels.
Bought the Arista reel as replacement for one that had worn out. I hadn’t realized how much easier a new one is to use, as the wear creeps up over time. It wasn’t me :-) Price was reasonable and I expect it to last 10-20 years! These work with 35mm, and 120 film, 126, 828 and 620, too.
