Home developing kits

[wibbly]

Want to buy some equipment for home developing black and white film.

It looks as if eBay has a good choice of kits including the dark bag, dev tanks etc.

Wondering what the quality of them is like, anyone any knowledge of them?

Cheers

I always use Paterson tanks and reels as I had some problems with other makes over the years. Dark bags need to be big enough for comfortable working, and decent elasticated sleeves to keep them light-tight.

When I had to use a dark bag, I always did so in a poorly lit room to reduce the impact of any tiny leaks round the elastication.
Like Peter, I always used BONE dry Patterson reels and tanks to match.
