[pure-silver] Re: lids for film processing canisters leaking

If the canisters are anything like the Nikor developing tanks the lids
were fitted to specific tanks.  If you used the wrong lid it would
either leak or become jammed on the tank.  The secret was to scratch an
identifying mark on both the tank and the lid so that they couldn't get
separated.

Could this be the cause, that the lids have become switched?


The truth is that I bought both the canisters and lids from a camera shop that had a bunch of used ones loose in a box, so they never came together. I just tested them until I got the lid to match the bottom. This worked for about two years, but now suddenly neither lid works on either tank. I guess I just need new ones.

Subject: [pure-silver] lids for film processing canisters leaking


Hi,

I've been using those tall thin metal canisters for processing 120
film. I had two lids, one for each canister, and they fit perfectly
last spring.  Now all of a sudden, they leak like crazy when I invert
the canisters to agitate.  Do these things just wear out after a
while?  I ordered some more from B and H.  Is there a better tool for
processing 120 film?
