- For all Paterson System 4 tanks: The reel fits the Universal Tank and all Multi-Reel sizes (see Compatibility).
- For Graflex Speed Graphic and Crown Graphic 3x4: The reel holds sheet film in Quarter Plate format (for the full camera list, see Compatibility).
- Secure hold without overlapping: The barb system prevents the negatives from slipping or sticking together during inversion agitation.
- Comes apart for film removal: Turn the reel counterclockwise to separate it into two parts, so you can remove the wet sheet films without damaging them.
- Cost-efficient developing: Use your existing Paterson System 4 setup for the rare Quarter Plate format without having to invest in expensive special tanks.
Design: Evan Dorsky. The reel is a modified version of his 3x4 reel on Printables (license CC BY-NC-SA). We make it with the designer's permission.

We are Anto & Vladi
Support a young startup
You want innovative solutions instead of mass-produced goods? With us, you don’t buy from an anonymous wholesaler, but directly from the founders. We (Anto & Vladi) started our startup in 2019 in Würzburg to help you revive analog photography.
Developed by engineers
Designed in Würzburg
We don’t sell anything we wouldn’t use ourselves. We are engineers and camera nerds, and we know that precision is especially important in camera technology. That’s why we design our parts ourselves in Würzburg, and we print and assemble most of them here too. Batteries and rechargeables come from other manufacturers, for example Varta.
From Germany to the whole world
Fast DHL shipping
Don’t want to wait forever for your item? We pack every order in Würzburg and send it out on the next shipping day (Monday, Wednesday or Friday). Within Germany it then arrives in 2-4 days, with DHL or Deutsche Post.
