Shel, I've always dumped my film into the photoflo off of the reels when using plastic, for exactly this reason. In school, I saw plastic reels become so discoloured that it was frightening. Also, I use a low formaldehyde final bath for E-6 and C-41, so I got into the habit of not putting reels in the baths. I like stainless, and find them much easier to load when slightly wet, but I've never found a good stainless 220 reel, and I also have a bad habit of dropping things. In the eight weeks that we had a Wing-Lynch processor here (much like a Jobo, but more compact and without a water bath, and it takes standard steel reels), I think I wrecked three reels by dropping them. Ow. I've never broken a plastic reel. We ditched the Wing-Lynch because it never pumped a consistent amount of chemistry, and would underpump as often as it overpumped. Had service people out to see it three times, and it never behaved, so we sent it back. A shame, really, because it was very compact, and when it worked properly it did an excellent job. Of course, it was a demo unit that had sat on a showroom floor for five years, only occasionally pumping water. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Plastic Developing Reels
Hewes makes reels for the Jobo, if I'm not mistaken. At least they do for the Jobo hand processing tanks. Are the reels different for the powered, rotary tanks?

Re: Plastic Developing Reels
Hi Ed ... Years ago I used to use SS reels, and, 25+ years later, when I took up photography again, I found the plastic reels much easier to load, so I started using them. But now Hewes reels will be replacing the plastic ones. I admit that I have strayed .

Re: Plastic Developing Reels
I've always suspected that Photo-Flo might leave some kind of residue, so I rinse my reels in water before leaving them out to dry. I don't know if that's enough, but they seem to be okay. However, they are all stainless. I don't own any plastic reels.

Re: Plastic Developing Reels
For those doing colour work and E6, if your stabiliser contains formaldehyde, avoid plastic reels. Otherwise, unspool the film and stabilise in an external bath.

Re: Plastic Developing Reels
No but I notice edwal fixer leaves alot of residue on my plastic reels. I spend more time cleaning the reels than developing film.

Re: Plastic Developing Reels
I've noticed that some of my plastic reels are harder to load than others, and this morning I looked carefully at all of them. Some have a slight discoloration, which may be an indicator of Photo Phlo Phlegm. I decided to run those through the dishwasher just to experiment an see if it has any effect. I guess it's time for more Hewes reels. I was going in that direction anyway. tom wrote: > Yeah, though mine kept gunking up even when I stopped using wetting > agent.
