Paterson Super System 4 35mm Developing Tank and Reel

The Paterson Super System 4 35mm Developing Tank is designed for developing a single roll of film at a time, featuring a compact and efficient build. Made from durable, lightweight, and easy-to-clean high-impact polystyrene, the tank is ideal for personal film processing. It comes with one Paterson Auto Load Reel, a matching center column, funnel, lid, and agitator rod. The funnel has a light-tight, snap-in design for quick and secure installation, while the large-diameter design allows for fast filling and draining, ensuring accuracy during development. The tank supports both rotary and inversion agitation methods, and the included Auto Load Reel, specifically made for the Super System 4 tanks, has a smooth finish and twin ball ratchet system for easy film loading. The reel is also adjustable to accommodate 35mm, 127, and 120/220 film formats.

Customer Reviews (4.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The water drain slots on the lid let me pour out chemicals quickly without spilling, and the spiral reel loads my film smoothly even with wet hands.

Ava D. ★★★★★

I was nervous about scratching my first roll, but the self-centering reel made loading surprisingly smooth. The compact tank fits nicely in my small workspace and doesn’t leak at all during inversions.

Alexander ★★★★☆

Loading the film onto the reel took a couple of tries, but once I got the hang of it, the tank handled my single roll perfectly with no leaks. The compact size is great for my small workspace, though I wish the lid had a bit more grip for easier opening when wet.
