Developing 616 film

How do folks do it? Looks like I need larger film reels than my 120.

Good Evening, Mike,

If you can't locate an appropriate reel, you can always use the old see-saw method with an open tray for chemicals. Awkward and boring, but possible.

How many rolls do you want to do? If it would be worth while, I'm sure I've got a universal tank somewhere in the darkroom that takes 116/616.

Regards,

David

A Kodak Apron for 120 might do in a pinch, but you wouldnt be able to use the weighted disk on top.

Hello Mike,

Those 70mm reels would have worked.

Cheers,
Clarence
