Wanted: Mod 54
Hi
If anyone is in the possession of a MOD54 (old style) that they have used and just did not get along with, if you wish to part company with it please do let me know. I have been meaning to add an extra one to my processing gear, and am concerned that only the new style MOD54 will be available Cheers Stoo |

Just curious Stoo, why would you want the old version in preference to the new?

It's quite simple really. There was a lot of complaints about uneven development etc, when using the original MOD54. If you are familiar with the MOD54, it has what I would describe as two shelves inside, which I can only imagine that the creator assumed as the culprit. I can see why, as they do restrict flow of the chemicals inside. The new version has been designed to do away with these two shelves, allowing the chemicals to flow more freely up and down the centre of the Paterson tank. Well, I have never had a problem with uneven development with the MOD54, or any of the other problems users have been faced with, such as sheets of film coming lose etc. All of my testing has been done with the original version, so if I was to change now I would have to change my agitation routine to suite, as the stronger flow of chemicals would cause over-development of my negatives. You know how it is with photography, if you have a routine that is working for you, don't change a thing. The trick with the old MOD54 was 'Gently, Gently', but it appears people just weren't listening. I hope this makes sense as it was written in haste. Cheers Stoo |

I don't know if you are sorted yet but there are 3-4 early type MOD 54 on ebay at the moment.
Search MOD 54 and they should come up. |
