Great beginners kit

Fantastic bundle to start out with film processing. The Paterson tank is tried and tested and the measuring cylinders are super convenient.

Makes life so much easier

Despite being a photographer for over 40 years, I had never tried developing at home. With kits like this available I really didn't have an excuse and took the plunge. I'm so glad I did because it worked out well and I'm hooked. I made a video here unboxing the kit. https://youtu.be/Er3c6S55NKs and another here where I use it. https://youtu.be/MJbUOwaOspE

The Perfect Starter Pack

Having not developed for 10 years and this being the first time owning my own kit I wanted to get it right (and was very happy when it worked well!), and this supplies everything you need minus the chemicals and storage bottles (which I think are best to look around and choose whats right for you anyway), arrives in a good sized box which I have continued to keep the equipment in after using. Everything you need without any wasteful extras.

Home set-up complete

With this, a changing bag and a few chemicals, I now have all I need to set up at home. My local lab has always been great but I wanted more control of the development and can now play around with the proccess to my hearts content. Saving money on developping also means I now have more to spend on film!

Great kit for home developing

This box has pretty much everything required to develop B&W film at home. The equipment feels well put together and made to last, the tank fits up to two 35mm rolls and doesn't leak, and the thermometer is easy to read. Since purchasing, I have successfully developed numerous rolls of B&W film using this kit.

I bought a film cannister opener (glorified bottle opener), and some chemicals separately.

Occasionally film will snag & pop off of the plastic reel when loading - most often towards the end of the roll as the tension increases. I've found this can be mitigated by guiding the film with my thumbs into the cassette while using very slow cranking movements.
