What sets AGO apart
AGO Film Processor
Develop film at home, effortlessly
AGO is a compact rotary film processor that handles agitation, temperature compensation, and timing, so you don't have to stand at the sink. It works with black & white and color film, fits any Paterson Super System 4 tank, and supports formats from 35mm to 8×10.
Active Time Compensation measures chemistry temperature continuously and adjusts development time as the chemistry naturally cools during the cycle. Pre-warm chemistry to the standard start temperature, pour into AGO, press start, and walk away. Up to 8 rolls of 35mm or 5 rolls of 120 in a single session, using one liter of chemistry, 60% less than manual inversion.
Full day's battery life with USB-C charging. WiFi web app for custom programs. Active community on Discord and Facebook for first rolls and thousandth rolls alike.
Supports B&W, C-41, E-6, RA-4, and ECN-2 out of the box. Build your list of favorite B&W processes in the custom program configurator.
What's included: AGO Film Processor, AGO funnel and rear stand, USB-C charging cable, quick start guide.
