Discover Our Wide Range Of Products!

Film photography is an art – and like any art form, the tools you use can make all the difference.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned pro, having the right equipment in your darkroom is crucial to creating stunning images. At Paterson Photographic, we understand that the quality of your supplies directly affects the outcome of your film developing process. That’s why we offer a wide selection of high-quality film developing supplies designed to make your workflow more efficient and your results more consistent.

With over 50 years of expertise in the world of photography, we’ve built a reputation for providing high-quality, durable equipment that helps you achieve the best possible results. From developing tanks and reels to safelights and storage solutions, Paterson Photographic is your reliable provider for all your film developing needs.

Film Developing Tanks

A film developing tank is one of the most important items in any darkroom.

It’s a light-tight container used to process photographic film after it’s been exposed, holding the film on reels and allowing you to pour in chemicals—developer, stop bath, and fixer—without exposing the film to light. This makes it possible to develop film in normal room lighting once the tank is sealed.

At Paterson Photographic, we provide some of the most reliable options available.

Paterson Film Reels

No developing tank is complete without a good reel, and our Film Reels are built to make your developing process smooth and hassle-free.

These reels are simple to load and designed to prevent tangling, which is one of the most frustrating issues with inferior reels. They’re made from durable materials, ensuring that your film can be developed evenly and efficiently.

Whether you’re processing a single roll or multiple, our reels provide consistent, professional results.

Chemical Mixing And Measuring: Precision Matters

One of the most important aspects of film development is getting the chemicals right.

Whether you’re mixing your own solutions or working with pre-mixed chemicals, accuracy is key. That’s why we offer a selection of tools to help you measure and mix your chemicals precisely.

Paterson Chemical Mixing Jugs

Our Paterson Chemical Mixing Jugs are designed to make chemical mixing straightforward.

Available in various sizes, these jugs come with clear measurement markings, so you can easily measure out the exact quantities you need for your development process.

Made from durable, chemical-resistant plastic, these jugs are built to last and are easy to clean. With them, you can ensure that your chemicals are mixed accurately every time.

Paterson Graduates And Beakers

If you need even more precision, our Paterson Graduates and Beakers are ideal.

These tools are perfect for measuring small amounts of chemicals, and the graduated markings make it easy to measure liquids accurately. They’re also made from shatterproof materials, so you don’t have to worry about them breaking in the middle of a busy darkroom session.

Paterson Print Drying Racks

After developing your film, proper drying is essential to ensure your negatives stay in good condition. Our Paterson Print Drying Racks make this process much easier.

These hangers can hold multiple rolls of film at once, and they’re designed to keep the film taut while it dries, preventing any curling. This ensures that your negatives remain flat and ready for scanning, printing, or storage.

Paterson Developing Trays

If you’re working with photographic paper and printing your negatives, Paterson Developing Trays are a must-have.

Our trays come in a variety of sizes and are built to hold your photographic paper and chemicals securely while you print. They’re lightweight, durable, and easy to clean, making them a practical addition to any darkroom setup.

Paterson Safelights

Working in a darkroom requires proper lighting, and Paterson Safelights are designed to provide a safe, low-light environment without exposing your sensitive materials.

The safelights emit red or amber light, which is safe for black-and-white films and papers. They help create the ideal atmosphere for working in the darkroom, allowing you to see what you’re doing without risking damage to your film or paper.
