Will Honeywell reels fit in Kindermann tanks?

[Chuckwade87]

I just bought 3 Honeywell reels, (2 minox 9.5mm and 1 16mm reel), but the only Stainless steel Tank I own is a 1 reel Kindermann.

Will they fit or do I need to find a honeywell/nikor tank?

Pretty much all the 35mm and 120 stainless reels fit different brand tanks, unless it's for an odd format(ie: some 220 size reels are larger dia.).

Thanks!

I have many brands of metal reels and tanks, they are all interchangeable. Just dont mix up the caps of the tanks, those will leak if you do.

I concur for the most part, although I have seen Hewes reels get snagged on the inside lip going around the top edge of some tanks. Not a big deal, just jiggle it out. It could be an issue though (as it was for me) if you're working in the dark with a lift rod trying to manually drop and pull the reels into and out of the tank (i.e. to avoid long pour times).

So I just received the reels today, and can confirm they fit properly.


Thanks everyone for the help!
