Paterson Super System 4 Adjustable Film Spool – for 35mm, 127, and 120 film

Designed for Paterson Super System 4 developing tanks, this adjustable film spool is compatible with multiple film formats: it can be used with 35mm, 127, and 120 film, making it a versatile solution for analog photographers.

The spool’s surface is smooth, which helps ensure even chemical flow during development. The built-in double-ball ratchet mechanism makes loading film easier, making the process faster and more convenient.

Usage:

1. To adjust the reel’s size, hold each end separately with your hands.
2. Turn them in opposite directions until the lock releases.
3. Then pull the two parts apart to match the desired film width.
4. Finally, turn the two sides back so the reel locks securely in place.

The first time you use it, you may need to apply a little more force to release it, but after a few uses, it will become noticeably easier.
