Kaiser Standard Developing Tank: Process several roll-film formats

Keeping track of which developing tank accepts which film format can complicate a mixed-format darkroom setup. The Kaiser Standard Developing Tank accepts 135 (35 mm), 126, 127, 120 and 220 roll film, so one tank covers a notably broad range of commonly used film sizes. That includes narrow 35 mm film as well as the larger 120 and 220 formats. Its maximum capacity is 500 ml, a clear figure to consider when choosing equipment for your darkroom routine. The tank is intended for film development, with a straightforward standard design rather than a collection of added features. It’s a useful option for photographers developing more than one of these formats, and for darkrooms where the film in the workflow changes from one session to the next. The finish is black. Check the supported format list against the film you use; the range is wide, but it’s specific.

Film format and tank details

• 135 (35 mm) film: The tank accepts 35 mm film, the narrow format often used for everyday shooting. It means you can use the same model for this format and the other listed roll-film sizes.
• 126 and 127 film: Both formats are supported. For anyone developing either of these alongside other listed sizes, that compatibility keeps the tank choice simple and avoids needing a separate model just for them.
• 120 and 220 roll film: The tank also accepts these two larger roll-film formats. That range makes the product relevant to a darkroom handling both smaller and larger film, rather than only one size.
• Maximum capacity of 500 ml: This is the tank’s stated maximum volume. It’s a practical specification to have at hand when comparing developing tanks or planning how much liquid the tank can hold.
• Standard developing tank: Kaiser identifies this as its standard tank. The focus is on a tank for developing the listed film formats, without extra functions or accessories being part of the stated product description.
• Black finish: The tank is black. This is the stated colour of the product, a simple detail to use when matching the equipment in your darkroom or distinguishing it from other gear.
