Stainless Steel Developing Reel, 35mm

The stainless steel feels sturdy and glides effortlessly onto the core—no more struggling with plastic reels that warp after a few uses. Loaded a roll in under a minute for the first time.

The loading mechanism is smooth and precise—my film slipped right into the grooves without any snagging, even in the dark. After a few rolls, the stainless steel stays rock solid and rinses clean in seconds. Definitely a keeper for my home darkroom setup.

The stainless steel surface lets film thread through with a satisfying click, and it holds the roll snugly without any wobble. I’ve loaded three rolls in a row now and each one sat perfectly flat in the tank.
