How tall is this tank? I am looking for something to process 5x12" sheet film.
Asked by: Eric
Sorry but it won’t work for a 5 x 12 negative. The internal height is only 9 inches, bottom to the light barrier funnel, or 11 inches, bottom to lid w/o the light barrier funnel. The internal diameter is 3.75 inches, giving a circumference of 11.8 inches, You could put a 5 x 12 in it horizontally but you would have a .22 in. overlap on the long side meaning your usable negative would only about 5 x 11.5 usable when developed. Hope this helps.

question

Does the item contain center column, funnel and agitator?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes, all three items were included in the box. However, I don't use the agitator as part of my developing process as I invert the tank rather than turning it with the agitator.

question

how long does it take to fill up the entire tank with chemistry? i believe 5rolls of 135 would require 1500ml of it. do you need to compensate for time to avoid over develop negatives in the bottom?
Asked by: Zulhilmi
It's only a matter of 10-15 seconds. I compensate about 5 seconds and have never had issues! I've never directly measured how much chemistry, but use a 2L kit and life is easy. I would guess its more around 1600ml!!

question

Is it necessary to fill up the whole tank with chemicals even if you're developing only 1 or 2 rolls ? I understand that empty reels should still be stacked up to prevent the loaded reel to move too much but still need to be sure if the less than full tank affects developing in a bad way ?
Asked by: Faisal M.
No it's not, below the tank you can find the specific volume for each number or reels either 120 or 35mm, just make sure as you said the empty reels are stacked above to prevent it does not get chemicals.

question

Does this kit come with any reels, or must they be purchased separately?
Asked by: Anonymous
No, the tank came without reels. I use mine with 120 film so I needed to get three. It's a good tank, though.
