Julian ★★★★★

I was worried about accuracy for C-41 processing, but the markings on this thermometer are incredibly clear and easy to read even in dim light.

Emma ★★★★★

The long 12-inch stem makes it easy to read the temperature even in a deep water bath, which I appreciate during color processing. The glass feels sturdy and the markings are clear against the red liquid, so no squinting needed.

Olivia O. ★★★★★

Finally a thermometer that reaches to the bottom of my deep developing tanks without splashing—the glass feels sturdy and the colored liquid is easy to read against the dark chemicals.
