Want to Buy 127 film metal reel(s)

[Dan Daniel]

Yep, looking for metal 127 reels for developing B&W in Nikkor metal tanks. 1 or 2 would be fine.

Thanks- Dan

HI Dan,

I love my Stainless Steel Nikkor reels and tanks, but finding a 127 reel may be difficult. The standard plastic Paterson reel can do 35mm, 126, 127, and 120 right out of the box (and I have modified one of mine too. handle 110/16mm). You can get the whole kit: tank, two reels, swizzle stick, etc. for $33 from B&H.

Cheers,

Paul

I'm sure I can help you with that-just have to find them. I am in the process of moving into a condominium so the darkroom is a casualty.
I have to get around to listing some film and rare papers.
I'll develop film and scan- Mark
I'll mail them up to you
I have found that 127 can be loaded on a stainless steel reel with difficulty. Plastic reels all but impossible as the lead is not anchored.The curl is truly hard to deal with

I found loading 127 film onto the plastic reel for Paterson Super System 4 is super easy. As easy as 135 film and easier than 120 film. I wonder which plastic reels did you encounter problems?

I've found the metal 127 reels on eBay pretty readily in the past couple of years. I think you just have to check every few days for a week or two and usually one will pop up.

Problem for me was with some very old Efke film, candy wrapped variety. I will have to try some of my Verichrome at some point. They were recent Patterson reels but it all depends on how much curl you have to fight

I have one, immaculate, "Made in Germany" stamped on film clip.

Make an offer, if you wish.
