Versatile Film Loading

The Paterson Photographic Auto Load Reel 6-pack serves photographers who develop 35mm, 126, 127, 120 or 220mm film. Each reel adjusts instantly to the required format, so darkroom beginners and experienced printers can load multiple film types without switching equipment.

Chemical-Resistant Construction

Acetyl resin withstands high film drying temperatures and resists processing chemicals during repeated development cycles. The ball bearing ratchet mechanism advances film smoothly, preventing crimps and jams that waste negatives and slow workflow.

Bulk Darkroom Efficiency

Six reels in one pack keep a busy darkroom supplied for batch processing sessions. The adjustable design eliminates the need to stock separate reels for each film format, freeing storage space and reducing the chance of mismatched equipment during a developing run.

Questions about this item

How do I load 35mm film onto the Paterson Auto Load Reel without crimping it?

Open the reel to the 35mm setting, feed the film leader into the entry slot, then turn the ratchet handle; the ball-bearing system advances the film evenly so it cannot kink.

Will the acetyl resin reel degrade after repeated chemistry cycles and high-temperature drying?

The acetyl resin construction is chemical-resistant and rated to withstand high film drying temperatures, so it survives normal developing and drying routines without warping.

What film width stops me from loading a roll onto a single reel?

One reel adjusts for 35mm, 126, 127, 120 and 220 formats; any width outside that range will not fit the adjustable flanges.
