Developing Tanks, Chemistry & Film Photography Accessories
Everything for developing at home — from the tank to the wetting agent, for 135 and 120
Why home development?
Everything you need to develop film at home
Home film development is not just a way to save money — it is full control over the creative process. You choose when, how, and at what temperature to develop. You can experiment with cross-processing, push and pull, and non-standard developers to get results that are difficult to achieve through a standard lab workflow.
A developing tank is where it all starts. A good tank holds the film tightly, does not leak, and allows you to work in daylight after loading. I stock tested models that are easy even for beginners — compact, reliable, compatible with both 135 and 120.
Chemistry, accessories, and tools — everything for a complete home film-development workflow. If you are just starting out or upgrading your setup, feel free to message me on Telegram for advice.
FAQ
- What do I need to develop black-and-white film at home?
- To get started you need a developing tank (such as AP Compact or Paterson), a changing bag or darkroom to load the film, and developer, stop bath, and fixer for black-and-white development. C-41 colour film uses a different chemistry kit. Optionally, a wetting agent for streak-free drying. The whole process takes 30–60 minutes.
- Does the developing tank work with 135 and 120 film?
- Most tanks in the catalogue are compatible with both 135 and 120 formats. The AP Compact holds two 135 rolls or one 120 roll. Check the product description or message me on Telegram before buying.
- Do I need a darkroom to develop film?
- A darkroom is only needed to load the film into the tank — this takes 1–2 minutes. A changing bag is the most convenient solution. The actual development is done in daylight.
- What is a wetting agent and why use it?
- A wetting agent (such as FOMA Fotonal) is added to the final rinse. It reduces water surface tension and ensures the film dries evenly without water spots or streaks.
