Soviet 16mm Micro Film Developing Tank

Soviet 16mm Micro Film Developing Tank

A hard-to-find Soviet developing tank specifically designed for 16mm micro film cassettes. Based on the design of the Czechoslovak Meopta 16mm tank, this Soviet-made version is a compact, purpose-built solution for processing small-format film. The Meopta design became a reference standard for compact 16mm film processing equipment across Eastern Europe — the Soviet version shares the same core functionality and film compatibility. Today, finding either version in working condition is increasingly difficult.
