Ha, good point! And yes, that's a big cost savings!
I have an RB67, size isn’t exactly a big concern lol. Plus, I got it for $10 with a set of cassettes, well worth the 98% discount compared to the actual backs you can buy on eBay I think.
Well, I got my 70mm x 15 ft spool printed. Bad news, it doesn’t work. It was too wide at first, and then I tried sanding down the middle part, and now it’s too small… gonna have to see if I can make an adjustment in CAD and figure out how to get it reprinted since I really don’t want to ask the guy as my school to reprint it (again…)
If you send me the STL, I might be able to give it a try. I have some 70mm, so I could at least trial fit.
Oops, I didn't put down the emulsion. But, yes, that's correct. Thanks for the pointer - I love Freestyle!Freestyle photo does, for 70mm they only show for Ilford HP5+
If you get a good line on Portra, I'd be interested for sure. Thanks for posting!
So, I managed to snag a developing reel for 70mm, wasn’t planning on getting a metal one, but… it was a really nice deal. If I’m not mistaken, this is probably a Kinderman reel? If so, what size container am I looking at for development?
It looks like the one I have, which is Kindermann, but I can't be absolutely sure from your photo so take what I write here with several grains of salt. Mine fits nicely into a Jobo 3013 4x5 drum, so that's one option. The 3013's are old style "expert" drums, not as useful/nice as the later ones, so they were cheap at one point. (Maybe no longer? All Jobo stuff seems pricey now).
A small bucket and lid will also work, but you'll need to find one that's not translucent. The reel I bought some time ago came with a thick walled black bucket and lid that looks like something you'd put a plant in. It is a bit odd but it works.

Over the years I've seen a couple of tanks for those oversized reels, but not frequently.
Here is a link to an old expired listing for one at a relatively local source: https://www.camera-traders.com/products/kindermann-70mm-developing-tank-with-reel
And another similarly expired offering: https://acephoto.net/cameras/kinder...r5Msj2myPX__NxqERbNfs5aFF8K9M0uPVSMYpiyAbIUvT
I got a big roll of fresh 70mm film today! I’ll only be keeping 150’ of it, but still!

Also, I may have a lead on some frozen 70mm, both color and B&W. Mostly Portra 160NC, but also Vericolor III and Plus-X (type 2 perfed). There’s a lot there, so if anyone here wants a 50 or 100 ft roll, feel free to ask. I don’t have anything specific yet, very tentative at the moment, but I figured I’d let you guys know before I put it in the classifieds as 120/220.

I posted a reply about a 70mm reel I've designed, but someone removed it as being "commercial". I suppose it kind of was, but I didn't intend it to be taken that way. Anyway, I made a Paterson tank compatible 70mm reel that works pretty well and doesn't require investing in an entire 70mm ecosystem, which is really nice. Works great too!
