Adox Starter Developing Kit for Black and White Film

Product Description

This kit is a great way to get you processing black and white film for the first time. It is the only kit we sell that contains both the accessories AND chemicals needed to go straight from an unexposed movie from your camera to give you a finished, developed negative in your hands. The kit allows you to process 35mm or medium format (120mm) film.

For the same price, you might also like the AP Film and Print Kit, which gives you everything the Adox one does plus more and the choice to print your film.

 Although essential, the kit contains the following items:

- a Paterson two-film tank with two spirals
- a thermometer
- an Adox 25 ml Rodinal measuring cylinder
- an Adox 1000 ml measuring jug
- 100 ml of ADONAL film developer
- 100 ml of ADOFIX Fixer
- 100 ml of ADOFLO wetting agent
- an exposed film to practice with the film spooling process
- a comprehensive manual with many images explaining the film development process
You can develop ten films with this kit before reordering any chemistry.

The following items are assumed to be in your house already:

- a dark room to spool the film (alternatively, buy a changing bag)
- a stop clock with a minute hand
- a pair of scissors
- a pair of clothes pegs to hang the film for drying
- a measuring beaker

Suppose you need any of these ancillary items. In that case, they are all available to purchase separately from us, as is a low-price scanner for you to load your negatives into your PC/Mac or expand equipment for printing.

Customer Reviews

By Andrew on 25th August 2023

"Really impressed by this - clear and simple instructions, and good results first time out. The blank film to practice spooling was a really useful idea and made me much more confident in using the kit. The tank lid was a little awkward to get on snugly, but after a few trial runs it becomes much easier. It does need a couple of extra purchases (canister opener, clips, a couple of spare measuring jugs) but these are all easily and cheaply available."

"A decent product at a decent price with one small niggle, the film reels were very tight to undo and fasten when twisting them in opposite directions, some might say too tight but they have eased off a little with use. Otherwise I'm happy with the purchase."

"Great kit. Everything you need to get started and all good quality items. Worth every penny. "

"Excellent kit. Great for starting developing films, everything you need and good clear instructions. Great value I would have paid much more than this kit costs to have my films processed in a lab."

By IB on 28th June 2021

"Excellent starter kit with almost everything you need other than a changing bag (unless you have a darkroom) and squeezee tongues if you use them. Really quality items and enough chemicals to get several rolls of b&w film developed. Definitely recommend "

"All very good, and prompt service."

"A great product, I was a little apprehensive at first about developing my own film but with a couple of youtube videos and the instructions provided with the kit all went to plan. It is good that they provide the practise reel too, I did a few practise runs, a couple in the day to start with my closed eyes and then a couple of runs at night in a blacked-out room. The kit says it will last for ten rolls, I am currently in the middle of shooting my second reel so hopefully will be developing again very soon. The only uncertainty I had about it was the type of developer that comes with it. After a bit of research, I found that it is actually Rodinal, (not to be confused with Adox HR Dev which is for Adox HR 50 film.) Adonal is just another name for it with it being packed in a smaller bottle than normal. A great bit of kit though I would certainly recommend it to others"

"Haven't got round to using this kit yet but everything there that I will need - useful to have chemicals included in the kit unlike some other retailers. Good quality products including a Paterson tank, speedy service from FirstCall and well-packed and a good price too. Haven't developed a film for30-odd years, looking forward to using the kit"
