    Daylight developing tank

    Has anyone here used an AGFA RONDINAX 35 DAYLIGHT DEVELOPING TANK ?
    If so are they any good and would it be worth $20.00 ?

    Re: Daylight developing tank

    Haven't used one of those, but had a two-reel stainless Kindermann tank that I sold for a little less than that recently. It was like a Nikor (no relation to Nikon) except for a plastic lid instead of stainless. Stainless reels are a little harder to get used to than plastic, or so I hear, but pretty easy to get the hang of.

    Re: Daylight developing tank

    I wasn't sure about the kind I mentioned because they don't get many bids on them.
    I am going to try to learn to develope my own film just for my pleasure.
    But first will need a tank that isn't to hard to learn to load.
    I have never tried it before so wish me luck for when I get brave enough to lol.

    I have never used a tank like that. The only tank I have used is a round one with 2 reals for loading the film. Pretty much the same as Steve mentioned, only mine plastic with plastic reals. Loading the reals can be kind of tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it's not too bad. I have no idea how you load a tank like the one you mentioned. Here is a link to the tank that I got.
