Film spools get lost, developing reels for exotic formats are no longer available to buy, and Jobo tanks need spare parts that haven't been produced for 20 years. Here you'll find everything that moves film in the darkroom and in the camera, reproduced in Germany.
Film Spools (Take-up Spools)
The take-up spool in the camera is the part most often missing when you buy used. No spool, no film. Our reproductions fit exactly and transport reliably.
Leica Barnack: Quick Load vs. Standard
The standard spool works, but it's fiddlier to load. The Quick-Load version (like Leica SPOOM / 14021) has a slotted core that takes the film leader without trimming. If you regularly shoot with a Barnack, you'll save yourself 30 seconds of frustration per roll.

Developing reels & sheet film holders
Most darkroom reels only cover 35mm and 120. For exotic formats like 8x11, 110, 127 or sheet film, there is practically nothing left on the market. We have filled the gap, compatible with Paterson System 4 and Jobo 1500.
Paterson or Jobo?
Our reels for small formats (8x11, 110, 127) are available as a duo version: one model fits Paterson cores, the other fits Jobo cores. The sheet film reels (4x5, 3x4, 9x12) are designed for the Paterson Super System 4 tank. The core tube adapter lets you combine both.

Developing tank accessories
Jobo and Paterson have dominated the darkroom for decades. Spare parts for them are becoming scarce. Axle tubes, knobs and spindles. The parts that are the first to give out under heavy use.
