Hi, I am looking for a developing tank for our 3 meter (or 10') long
35mm B/W film from a home-made camera. want to keep the film
continuous without cutting. I'v checked JOBO tanks but didn't find a
good one. I am not sure if 2500 can hold 3 meter 35mm film. Any one
can give me the answer or any advise about this?

Ilford made a processing reel for "Ilford HP5 Autowinder film" -
a thin base film with 72 exposures/roll. The reel will take regular
base film but is a bit finicky when loading. The reel fits a
standard Nikor/Kinderman tank.

Jobo made a 2501 reel that can take 72 exposures. You
will need the loader that goes with the reel, it can't be
loaded by hand. Loaders are scarce.

Equipment made to take 100' lengths of movie film would be
another alternative. Richard Knoppow would know more on
this subject.
