Worldwide, Paterson is best known for the high quality darkroom equipment it manufactures in the UK. For nearly sixty years Paterson have specialized in the manufacture and supply of equipment for the manual processing of silver based photographic film and paper.

The Paterson Super System 4, Universal Developing Tank holds two reels set to 35mm or a single reel set to 120/220 film. It comes with two easy-to-load multi-format reels made of high quality plastic. The tank offers a choice of agitation methods: inversion agitation with the patented large rubber lid that seals the tank or rotary agitation with the removable agitator rod for simple use in a temperature control bath.

The removable funnel/light-trap works perfectly with the liquid Df96 Monobath, since it's safe to remove the light trap/funnel after the single-step solution is done processing to help pour the just-used chemistry back into the storage bottle for reuse.

Riley J. ★★★★★

The plastic body feels solid and the reels click into place securely, so no wobble while I’m agitating. Loaded two rolls back-to-back without any snags, and the tank’s easy pour spout made the whole process quicker than my old setup.

Aurora B. ★★★★★

After wrestling with cheap plastic tanks for years, this one finally feels solid enough to last, and the two included reels mean I can develop two rolls back-to-back without any fumbling. The lid seals tightly with a simple twist, so I’ve had zero leaks during inversions. It’s made my whole home dev

Brian ★★★★★

The reels load film so smoothly that I actually don’t dread loading 120 rolls anymore, and the tank’s lid seals tight enough that I’ve had zero leaks during inversions. It’s solidly built for the price, and the plastic feels like it’ll last through years of darkroom sessions.
