This 4 x5 inch sheet film processor, from Punto Foto, is exclusive to Firstcall in the UK.Artifex, in Latin, means artist or craftsman, and that certainly applies to the way this tank has been designed and manufactured.
Made from hard-wearing ABS material, the interior of the tanks contains a rack in which the two individual sheet film frames (or guides) sit. Once you load the tank in the dark and you tighten the two locking screws, you can carry out all other processing in daylight. After you've completed the processing, you use the included hook to pull the guide from the tank.
The processor will handle up to six frames in any one session but only comes with two frames included.
To process more than two sheets at a time, we recommend their Extension Kit that includes two more film frames and a blank frame.
By using this blank, you can process just one or two sheets economically.
The Artifex is the most economical way to develop 4 x 5-inch sheet film. You only need one litre of chemical to process six sheets making it far cheaper than the Jobo Expert system. Artifex, therefore, uses half the chemistry of an Expert system.
The two central square knobs use ""O"" ring stoppers which then reveal the pour holes for filling and emptying the chemistry. You even get a little funnel to aid you in this task. It tanks just 10-12 seconds to fill the tank with chemistry.
Artifex is the first new sheet film developing a system for ten years - made, with love, in Italy.
Customer Reviews
By TerryORourke on 11th May 2020
"The best developing tank I have used for 5x4 film by far. Development is even and the tank is 100% light tight. To test I left two sheets in the tank for two days prior to development - one unexposed. Film holders are metal, easy to load, and very secure. I have processed 50 sheets in the past 3 weeks no issues. The tank fills and empties fast and is very efficient to use. Expansion sets allow up to 6 sheets to be processed in 600ml of chemistry making the process very cost efficient. More versatile than a rotary processing system this tank is ideal for both extended (stand), compensating and standard processing techniques. An outstanding product, very well made, that works perfectly."
