Hi.

 

I got a Leitz developing tank from 1938, code TAHOO.

Anyone has experience with this kind of tank?

 

I'm a little afraid I can scratch the film, the gate is too small.

Hi Martin,

 

I have that developing tank since a few months but I did not try out until now. At first I will try an unexposed short film, let's say about 15 frames. One should see any scratch afterwards on the clear developed, fixed and washed film.

 

Good luck!

I tried it and worked very well, Wolfgang! The most important is to make the correct cut in the film. I readed that there was a special template - but I believe it's almost impossible to find one. 

 

I tried too to use it as a normal tank. Then is very very easy to roll two films at the same time.
