Since 2004 ars-imago has been on a mission to offer innovative products for analog photography enthusiasts, starting with the LAB-BOX Daylight Developing Tank. This multi-format tank allows users to develop film in full daylight, without the need for a darkroom or changing bag, and is a great introduction to home processing.

The LAB-BOX Crank is an optional accessory that can be used instead of the standard knob for more comfortable agitation during film processing, especially when using constant agitation.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

Loaded my first two rolls at once and the multi-format design handled both without a single kink. The daylight loading was so smooth I didn’t even need the changing bag. Really glad I finally ditched the old spiral method.
