El producto posee visibles rasgos de uso o arañazos que presuntamente no debería tener por haber sido comprado como nuevo.
El funcionamiento en sí mismo está bien, no hay problema con ello, pero es problema que se esté vendiendo como nuevo cuando realmente tiene claras marcas de usos anteriores.
5.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星Definitely the best system out there!

Paterson tanks are without a doubt, THE tanks to use and have been for a long time now. It is made of highly durable plastic, and is coated so that it won't retain any of the chemicals used (can destroy your processing!)
PROS - Light-proofing system is recognized as the best on the market - Film loading ball-bearing system is beyond easy (I practiced twice before a real roll, and got it in one!) - Comes with agitating rod for multiple styles of agitation during processing - Adjustable reel for 35mm, 120mm and three other film sizes. Easily snaps into place. - Will not lock if seal is not proper, forget leaks they won't happen with this tank! - Maybe it was just luck, but I received two reels with my order?
CONS - Sealing lid is a little tough to press down when you are using time-sensitive chemicals
So this set-up cost more than my stainless steel 35mm and 120mm tanks combined, however in my opinion it is totally worth it! The ease of use makes it a pleasure to use even in the dark, and I have never had negatives stick together (unlike my stainless teel tanks...ugh).
ADJUSTING THE REEL Once you know how, this is VERY easy. I didn't have instructions with my purchase (an oversight I was assured) and there really aren't any resources on the web. To adjust the reel for 120 film etc, hold both sides of the reel and turn clockwise with force. You will hear a squeak and a click, at which point you can pull the halves apart to adjust. Once you have it at the desired width, turn the opposite way to lock, again waiting for the squeak and click! And you're done!
If you're still developing film in 2012 (good for you), join me in using this excellent set-up for great results every time.

I have used this product and this is my experience with it. Your mileage may vary.
The developing tub has a red plastic ring on the top that is glued to the black tub. My unit leaked between that glued joint. The lid seal was perfect, and there was no leakage there.
As I'm using the developer, flipping it over during the developing process I'm thinking, "wow, there's a lot of water dripping off of this thing". Once I got to the Blix (which looks like iodine), it became quite obvious that it was in fact a leak, and even more obvious from where it was leaking.
I'm not saying this is a bad product - I was able to finish my film developing, albeit a drippy, leaky process - but the product's quality control and assembly procedures need to be reviewed. I've returned it and will go with the Adorama universal developing tub instead.
Edit #1 I got the Adorama Universal tank and it too leaked. Now I'm thinking, "WTF? Do all of these leak?" I really like the design of the Paterson tank better than the Adorama tank, but the Adorama spools are an improved version of the Paterson spools. Back to Amazon I go to purchase another copy of the Paterson tank. Thankfully, the third time is the charm and this Paterson tank is leak-free.
I've updated my review to four stars since the spools are better in the Adorama kit: there's a shelf that makes threading the film in the dark much easier than the Paterson spools, especially 120 film. So now I'm using the Paterson tank with the Adorama spools which fit the tank perfectly.
