Jobo UniTank with 1501 Reel

The Jobo film development tanks from the modular 1500 tank system are made of high quality, chemically resistant plastics and are, depending on the model, suitable for the development of 35mm film and roll film.

This Jobo 1520 UniTank film development tank is designed for the most economical inversion development of 35mm film and 120/220 roll film, requiring up to 30% less photochemistry compared to similar tanks of other brands. The trusted and reliable lid seals the tank effectively and easily, ensuring clean film development without leaks.

The 1520 tank comes with one adjustable 1501 spiral for the development of one 35mm film or up to two 120 roll films. The packaging also includes the standard red tank cover for manual inversion development. The UniTank can hold up to two 1501 spirals making it possible to develop two 35mm films simultaneously. For this you need to purchase an additional 1501 spiral as the tank only comes with one spiral. The tank can also develop two 120 roll films at the same time using the integrated clip in the film spiral. Each 1501 spiral is equipped with a red clip which makes it possible to load two roll films on one spiral without the risk of overlap. This possibility allows the 1520 UniTank to develop two roll films at the same time, despite the fact that the tank can only hold one 1501 spiral with adapted size for roll film. If the clip is not used, the tank can develop one roll film.

When the tank is used by hand for inversion development, the tank must be filled with only 485ml of photochemistry, making it one of the most economical ways to develop multiple 35mm films or roll films. For rotary development with a compatible Jobo processor, the tank only needs 240ml of photochemistry to get the job done. In that case the tank does need a cog (#1505) to attach it to the processor lift or a magnetic base (#1504) if the processor is not equipped with a lift. Both accessories are not included and are available separately.
