Description
Developing Minox film usually fails due to accessories: standard spools don’t hold the narrow 9.2mm strip. This spool fills the gap: you can develop 8x11 film in your existing daylight development tank.
The spool slides onto the central spindle of your tank, secures the film, and ensures even chemical flow. The chemical-resistant design withstands contact with developer and fixer. Besides Paterson, AP, and Jobo (1500 series), the spool also fits the central spindle of Kaiser tanks. Manufactured in-house in Germany.
Practical tip
Cut the corners of the film strip at a 45-degree angle before loading it onto the spool. This helps the film slide in smoothly and prevents snagging.
Part of the Minox 8x11 system
This spool is part of the Minox 8x11 system: cutting film, loading the cassette, developing, and scanning — all from one source. Learn more in the system overview and the Minox 8x11 guide.
