The DarkroomDevelopment

120 in a 35mm Patterson tank.

I thought since the Patterson reel can expand to accept 120 film I could use my little single roll 35mm tank. So I loaded a roll, dropped into the tank and sadly discovered the light proof funnel wouldn’t fit. So I thought for awhile and decided to go to my closet, put a blanket over my head, remove the lid and pour in 500ml of developer, then replace the lid, and use inversion method instead of swizzle stick.
So far it works fine.

Glad that worked out. I've thought of doing the same because I like to inspect my negatives during development. I don't know how common this is, but I use night vision in the darkroom. Works perfectly for pancromatic b&w film. Cool photo.
