Stainless steel has been a darkroom staple for many photo enthusiasts. These durable Stainless Steel Reels can last a lifetime. The stainless steel construction makes it easy to clean. The film clips to the center of the reel and is gently rolled onto the reel in complete darkness.
Took these out of the box and gave them a quick rinse; the stainless steel feels solid and the film slides on smoothly without catching. Been using them for a few weeks now and they clean up in seconds, exactly what I wanted.
I’ve loaded these reels onto my Patterson tank a dozen times now and they grip the film perfectly every single time, no slipping or snagging. The stainless surface rinses off in seconds under the tap, which is a lifesaver after a long session.
Finally, reels that don't fight me when I'm loading film in the dark—the stainless steel slips right through my fingers and cleans up in seconds. These feel like they'll outlast every plastic reel I've burned through.
