Kalt Stainless Steel Reel -NP10110 (35mm)

Finally, a stainless steel reel that feels solid and won't flex under pressure—loading wet 35mm film is so much easier. The heavier gauge steel is a noticeable upgrade from the flimsy reels I've used before.

I've been using this for my home film development, and the heavier gauge steel really does feel much sturdier than my old plastic reels. It holds the 35mm film securely without any wobble during agitation.

The loading groove is cut perfectly smooth, so the film slides in without any catching or jamming. I've been using it for a few weeks now and it feels solid enough to last for years of home development.
