Free Developing Tanks
I have been given by a deserter to real photography 2 35mm Gepe Developing Tanks looking for a good home or they are heading for the bin.
One, a single film tank with spiral, the other a two film tank with two spirals. They are central loading but I have only one complete loading feeder so that both should go to the same home. For the cost of postage. Mike |

Nice offer. I hope someone in need and maybe getting started take you up on it.

I'm interested if only because it's something different. I haven't come across a central loading reel before and I often have trouble with standard reels.
See if anyone else is interested over the next day or two. If not, I would like to try them out. Steve. |

Steve, my Durst reels are central loading with a loading device that attaches to the reel so are like or maybe even exactly the same as the Gepe.
They are virtually foolproof and a real( or is that reel? ) boon especially in 120 size once you get the film's tongue under the centre spring. Mike |

The tanks turned up today.
The reels are a great design. All reels should be like this. My first trial film (in daylight) loaded perfectly. The reel is so good that I can even load it properly without the loading attachment. Now to see how it behaves in a changing bag! EDIT: After one false start because I hadn't inserted the film far enough before closing the locking tab, it loaded perfectly. I even remembered to take off my watch with a luminous dial (noticed it just as I put my hand into the bag). I think these reels are going to get a lot of use. Steve.

An added bonus - these reels also load easily when wet. e.g. unwinding a bit to look at it then winding it back on to finish a wash.
I would like a 120 version too now! Steve. |
