new sheet film holder for Paterson 3 tanks

Post by Thingy » Thu Sep 30, 2010 5:45 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

An interesting new design of sheet film holder has been developed which may interest members, which has received positive feedback on APUG's website, below. It fits into a standard Paterson 3 tank (the ones that hold 2x120 reels or 3x35mm reels). It is currently available to hold 6 sheets of 5x4 but it looks like a 5x7 version may soon become available too.

There is also a YouTube video demonstrating its use:

It is a pity that Paterson don't just market one of these themselves. It might even come out less expensively if they make them in bulk as it were? Dennis

These holders are for multi reel (minimum 3x35mm/2x120) Paterson System 4 & Super 4 rather than the older Paterson 3 tanks which used narrower columns and a slightly different tank :D

If it is the same as 2 x 120 reels, I take it that's going to mean a full 1000ml of chemistry rather than 270ml in a CPE2? And has anybody bought one of these yet?

Thanks, Peter
