Reels come in 120, 200 , and 35mm sizes. ( maybe others, but I have no info myself.) If you buy plastic, you will not be as happy, the reels are more likely to cause loading problems...... The Hewes reels are a bit more costly, but they are bulletproof and easy to load. Note: almost all tanks have the same diameter.... but buy the reels first, then fit the tanks..... Total investment should be less than $100, new, for 1 tanks and 2 reels.. If you are located in the USA, buy from Freestyle Sales.... look here... http://www.freestylephoto.biz/sc_search.php?rfnc=1603 $50 for 2 reels, 1 tank. Good deal! Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net I just want equipment to develop the film, but which brand should I buy? AP, Jobo, Paterson or another brand? Are there any important differences to buy one brand instead of another?
