Paterson Super System 4 Multi-Reel 3 Developing Tank

Optimized for developing multiple rolls of film at once, this Paterson Super System 4 Multi-Reel 3 Developing Tank can hold up to three 35mm rolls or two 120/220 rolls. Super System 4 tanks feature a high-impact polystyrene design that's durable, lightweight, and easy to clean.

Super System 4
  • High-impact polystyrene construction is durable, lightweight, and easy to clean
  • Included funnel has a unique snap-in design that is light-tight and quick to install and remove
  • Large-diameter design promotes fast filling and dumping speeds for improved developing accuracy
  • Supports both rotary and inversion agitation methods
  • Compatible with Paterson Auto-Load Reels, which are adjustable to accommodate 35mm, 127, and 120/220 film formats
MOD54 Large Format Film Processor

The MOD54 Large Format Film Processor is a 4 x 5" sheet film holder for use in conjunction with a Paterson Super System 4 PTP116 three-reel developing tank. This holder accepts up to six sheets of a 4 x 5" large format sheet film and permits standard inversion-type agitation methods during development.

The holder is designed with a notch system, similar to 4 x 5" film itself, to facilitate easier loading and to ensure the emulsion side of the film is facing inward for greater protection against scratching.

Super System 4 MultiReel 3 Developing Tank with 4 x 5" Sheet Film Holder Kit Reviews

Works great after modifications

Instructions for the 4x5 insert read to gently agitate during development. Out of the box the insert is too loose to be turned using the vertical tube. It just slid around without turning the insert. I drilled both and added a stainless steel screw which solved the problem. Works great now.

Used on & off. Designed for 6 BUT do NOT use more than 4 sheets, as film loading issues can cause edges and centers to touch. No matter how much you check, there is still an issue. Use the inner and outter slots ONLY. You have been warned!

My developer is only 700ml , can I develop 4x5 ...

My developer is only 700ml , can I develop 4x5 sheets using the Inversion method? Or the developer should be full quart 946ml?? I'm using Cs41 with this paterson tank and the reel?
Asked by: Anonymous
If the photos mean anything to you I would acquire the proper volume of developer, the risk of inconsistent developing is very high is you're using a lower volume

question

Does the Mod54 work with 4x5 paper or strictly for sheet film? anyone had any success/failure using paper?
Asked by: Omar Z.
Agreed - paper would likely dislodge during agitation (has been a problem with film for some). Like someone else's said though worth trying, but maybe not worth buying exclusively to try it.

question

Right now I use the two 35mm reel system. The funnel locks into the spindle so that the whole rig is light tight. I'm starting to shoot 4x5 and it doesn't look like the Mod54 comes with a solid spindle so does this mean you have to change chemicals in the dark?
Asked by: Kirk L.
The mod 54 works with the three reel tank. You use the spindle from that tank. If you buy the tank/mod54 combo, you get all the parts. It's a great system. I use it and the old combi system myself and with my students. It takes a few goes getting used to loading, but is easy after that. It is definitely a daylight tank system with the right parts.

question

Does anyone know if this can be used with 2.25x3.25 sheet film? I have several 35mm, medium format, and one camera that takes the 2.25x3.25 sheet film and am trying to find the simplist way to develop all three types of film with the least amount of equipment.
