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 Professional Lid is an optional accessory that can be used with any LAB-BOX developing tank. It includes a built-in timer and thermometer, making it a professional alternative to the standard lid.

The Pro Lid is especially useful for processes like color negative (C-41) and color reversal (E-6), which need a special attention to temperature. The lid has a stainless steel probe which can measure the liquid temperature inside the tank during the process to help you control and manage development.

The Professional Lid also has an integrated timer that can be set in 15 second increments. Users can also save 3 different times which can immediately be set through the T1, T2, T3 buttons.

The fact that it handles multiple film formats in one tank is a game-changer for me—I can switch from 35mm to medium format without buying a second setup. It's saved me so much time and mess in my cramped bathroom setup.
