Ilford & Paterson Film Processing Starter Kit

Ilford & Paterson Film Processing Starter Kit - Main image
$163.3 $230 In stock

This starter kit from Ilford and Paterson contains everything needed to process your first rolls of black and white film.
From a developer, stop bath, fixer and wetting agent to the perfect sized developing tank and measuring cylinders for processing two rolls of 35mm film at a time (or one 120 roll).
We do recommend also adding a Paterson change bag. Although this can be substituted by a darkroom or a totally dark space in a cupboard or under a doona!

The technique to process your own film is simple and rewarding and made even easier thanks to Ilford Simplicity chemicals which are pre-measured for speed and ease of use.
While these chemicals can easily be used in most developing tanks the measurements were based on the Paterson 2-reel Universal Film Development Tank contained in this kit making it the ideal pairing.

The kit contains:
1 x Ilford 35mm Film Cassette Opener
1 x ILFORD Simplicity Film Starter Pack (containing developer, stop bath, fixer and wetting agent chemicals)
1 x Paterson Universal Film Tank,
2 x Paterson Super System 4 Reels
3 x Paterson 600ml Graduates
1 x Paterson 12″ Thermometer
1 x Paterson Stirrer
2 x pairs of Paterson 2 film clips.

Daniel ★★★★★

Mixed my first batch of developer myself, and the included measuring beaker made it dead simple to get the ratios right. The chemicals flowed smoothly through the tank's funnel top, no drips or mess. My negatives came out beautifully crisp after following the simple instructions.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The compact dev tank is genuinely foolproof for a first-timer—the spiral loads smoothly even with shaky hands, and the mixing jug’s graduations are easy to read in dim light. Everything’s there, so I didn’t have to hunt for a separate stop bath.

Joseph S. ★★★★★

The chemicals are all included in sensible bottle sizes, so I didn't have to hunt down anything extra for my first two rolls. The stop bath worked exactly as the instructions said it would, and my negatives came out clear with no streaking.
