REEL 5x7 Developing Reel
Compatible with Paterson 5 and 8 tanks. Designed for 5x7 inch and 13x18 cm format film and paper.
- Develop 5x7 format B&W and colour film
- Develop RA-4 paper 5x7 when used together with the Paper5 reel
- Save chemistry with rotary processing using the AGO Film Processor
- Works with both rotary agitation (AGO) and hand agitation
Minimum Chemical Volumes for REEL 5x7
For vertical agitation, use 1350ml of chemical per reel.
Loading the REEL 5x7
This reel accommodates up to two sheets of 5x7 inch or 13x18 cm film. Insert the sheets emulsion side facing inward, between the two columns, and slide them down. Attach the top holder: push down one click for 13x18 cm film or two clicks for 5x7 inch film. To remove the top holder after developing, place your thumbs in the centre hole and use your index fingers to pull it off.
Using Paper5 and REEL 5x7 Together
Combining the Paper5 outer shell with the REEL 5x7 main body makes it possible to simultaneously develop multiple prints up to 5x7 inches. The REEL 5x7 main body works as an insert that splits the Paper5 inner compartment into two sections.
Note: In this configuration, the Paper5 support part and REEL 5x7 top holder are not required.
