I've taken a step forward in my film developing career. I've just bought an Agfa Rodinex Daylight developing talk from eBay. This allows me to unwind the film from the cassette into the tank in daylight, removing the cupboard under the stairs step !

    I used one of these in the early 1970s. I really regret getting rid of it when I got married. I now cope with a normal Patterson developing tank butn that means having to load the spiral in a dark bag which is not so easy.

      I know what you mean - I bought a Patterson universal from eBay but when I saw this Agfa come up I put a speculative bid on because I know I'd otherwise need to get a changing bag anyway. I haven't ever used one but the reviews I've seen are very positive.
