Good afternoon!
I am in search for a processing tank capable of developing 16mm and double 8 film. It seems the only ones available are all in post soviet states so I thought I’d ask the community if anyone had one laying around that they wouldn’t mind selling?
 
For developing 16mm capacity (length of the film) is an issue. USSR made processing thank had capacity for 15m (~45') which was perfect for 2x8 film. I'm not sure any more could you have 2 layers of film on those tanks. I did process 35mm in it and it was OK, so there is "enough" height for it. Jobo made something similar. It must cost real fortune now.
 
The Super 8mm drum is $900 USD + shipping...
 
The Jobo drum can only do I think 35ish feet of 16mm film. I'm not sure how long DS8 is but that's not enough to handle a normal Bolex 100ft load. Not sure what the utility of it is honestly... However the Super 8 drum can do a normal 50ft cartridge and it's fantastic. Given the cost of lab processing it pays for itself pretty fast.
 
hi,
there is also the Morse G3 Developer Tank. Mixed emotions about it and it's outcome on the internet but if you are in the US you might be able to find one in low price to try...
one of my favourite objects in my camera cabinet...
