Paterson Cut Film Developing Reel

This unique Paterson reel can hold up to four panoramic (120mm) strips of 65mm or 70mm film that have been cut with our 65mm or 70mm cut film guide.

Instead of a spiral upon which longer lengths of film are loaded, this reel utilizes a compression method to hold strips against the sides of each chamber, keeping them fully separate from each other.

This reel is designed to be used in a Paterson 115 (2 reel) tank or larger.  It loads on the standard Paterson core and is compatible with swivel agitation.

This is the easiest way to develop 65/70mm cut film at home!

For Jobo users, you have three options:

1. Use this reel in a 1520 tank for stand or gentle inversion processing (no rotary use).
2. Use our Jobo cut/sheet film developing reel in a rotary processor.
3. For Expert Drum users, use our 65/70mm cut film developing insert for the Jobo 3010 drum.
