Developing Tank LOMO UPB-1A

Loading the cine film into a spiral universal UPB-1 or UPB-1A LOMO developing tank. 8, Super8, 16 (2x8) or 35 mm.
The end of the film is fixed to be used any way that you would like.
Emulsion this side needs to be facing up.
The perforations must be down for 1x8 film.
Also you can see here

I'm trying to do this right now. You skipped the part where the film gets all jammed up and also the part where you cry at the sheer impossibility of this task.
Edit: I've since managed to do it successfully after a lot longer in the dark than I expected as well as many curse words at a volume that may have disturbed the neighbors.

That feel

[@carbo73]

many thanks to show the different film sizes

[@adamv4951]

I learned to do this in the dark. Boy did it take some patience to get it down!

[@rapidrocko]

Thanks. Simple demonstration. This helped me realise I am missing the black spacer for 35mm.

[@fergusmoloney8199]

thank you very much this is very useful

[@Ni5ei]

For 1x 8mm (the first film you load) don't put the second spiral reel on top. Always use the top reel (without spiral).

I got a beat on one from ebay and now im finally gonna be able to develop film for my bolex h8

[@occhiosullespression]

Thanks! :)

[@nobbymak]

it changes length of spindle to develop 16mm and 35mm film, during used bottom spiral ring

[@MezeiEugen]

Holding the film spool will put less finger grease onto the film. :)

[@word2urmuva]

Hurrah, i've igured out how to do it again. For future ref. Emulsion side is out, 1R perfs into the groove.

[@MezeiEugen]

So I finally saw which part my tank is missing for the 35 mm film. What is the heiht of that adapter exactly?

[@FredBloggsTheThird]

[@MichaelCarter]

[@nobbymak]

[@occhiosullespression]

[@RGameplaysZ]

this should be done in complete darkness right?

[@nobbymak]

+Samuel Thorstensson of course! But first you have to practise in daylight with your eyes closed

[@word2urmuva]

I spent the best part of a year mastering this (intermittently), then i stopped, now i have lost the knack.

[@AlexRobertson4]

[@nobbymak]

the length of each reel/spiral (layer) is 15 meters - approximately 49 ft
