The Anscomatic Deluxe Developing Kit
« on: December 12, 2009, 05:41:59 PM »
I've been watching these video podcasts and they're well explained if you're new to photography, but The Anscomatic Deluxe Developing Kit is new to me and I want one!

I've justy ebayed (is that a word) it but nothing so far. Has anyone seen one, or even used one?

Ugly shirt indeed...
I do have an Anscomatic tank... it's an interesting piece of kit. The agitator spindle has a thermometer built-in and the top reel is transparent (probably for inverting slides or solarizing negatives).

I've never seen it as a kit though. Looking under the GAF brand might help.

Here are a few pics of my find. I've had it for only a few days and funny thing is even after a thorough washing, it still smells like developer :)
