Gone are the days of yore dealing with multiple baths and erratic temperature control. The JOBO DUO has all that you need in just one box for the perfect start to your home film developing journey. Easy-to-use chemistry, the best tank on the market, professional storage, and precise temperature regulation; whether it’s color or black and white, 35mm or 120, the JOBO DUO Kit has you covered.”

“The Pentax 17 is one of those film cameras that I would want to take with me everywhere and everyday! It’s compact and lightweight design allows me to easily slip this camera in my pocket for quick and easy access. There’s no picture that I can’t take with the Pentax 17’s user-friendly controls, seamlessly switching between indoor and outdoor photos, which I think makes the Pentax 17 the perfect for film photographer beginners. The shining feature of the Pentax 17 is it’s half-frame format, which means that I can take up to 72 photos with a single roll of 35mm, which let’s me maximize all my favorite film stocks, such as CineStill 400D, Kodak Gold, and BwXX!”
