How to Take Apart Patterson Tank Film Developing Reels

[@John_Krone]

Man, I've seen a bunch of videos and NONE explain extending the reel to 120. Awesome. Thanks!!

When you first get those reels, they ARE very tight. I was apprehensive about twisting them apart myself, but after watching this video, my confidence built up and I gave it a try. Viola! They came apart, SO...I repeated it over and over and the tightness eventually diminished and it's much easier now, Thanks!!! BTW, you reset the real for 127 films instead of 120 here in this video. LOL. GREAT VIDEO.

I have yet to try steel reels. Plastic ones like these are my go-to.

Same here. I like the size flexibility. 🙂
