Agfa RONDINAX 35U User Report

[janrzm]

Hi, I did a user report on the RONDINAX 35U for anyone that has acquired one of these or is considering it.

Here - http://aperturepriority.co.nz/2012/0...rondinax-35-u/

Highly recommended....

Cheers

Cool. Always wondered if they worked well.

I was just looking at one of those on the auction site. I really don't need it, but if one ever falls into my hands, it's good to know they work well. The only drawback is that it's a "one holer" ... if you have a backlog of film, too bad!

The problem I've always had with the Rondinax is that they require constant agitation, otherwise part of the film is not in the developer. If you have a developer that wants limited agitation, you're out of luck.

For a `normal' type of tank that can be loaded in daylight, I recommend the Jobo 2400. I used these for several years before switching to SS tanks.

While I'm not personally fond of the tool (I prefer my cold steel Nikors), that is a great review - actually more of a user guide. Didn't Leica market the same tank under their own name?

Thanks for the kind words. Yes there was a Leitz version, there is actually one on ebay at the moment......
