Italian photographic dealer Ars-Imago has released a new agitation module for its Lab-Box daylight tank.
The module, called the M-Box, fits into the existing Lab-Box and is programmable for automatic agitation according to the desired recipe.
Announcing the module, Ars-Imago said: “M-Box is an innovative accessory designed to optimize the development of photographic films. Compatible with the Lab-Box system, it automates agitation during processing, simplifying the process and improving results.”
First launched in 2017, the Lab-Box is a modular daylight processing tank that can be used to process both 35mm and 120, and Ars-Imago said it had become “one of the most popular products in the analogue photography scene. M-Box fits perfectly into this context, maintaining the same elegant and functional design.
“Designed for those who want professional development results, M-Box simplifies every step of the process, allowing for greater precision and control.”
It listed the M-Box specifications as:
- Made from black plastic with orange inserts
- Compact and portable
- Three agitation settings available for each stage of the process from development to washing
- Programme selection knob and LED lights to indicate charge level
- Compatible with both 35mm and 120 development module
- Silicone cap to protect battery compartment during operation
- Four rechargeable batteries charged via a supplied USB-C cable
- Battery life of between 60 to 70 minutes
The M-Box will be released in late October and will cost €139 (£120/$163), but from 11 to 14 September it will be available at an early-bird price of €119 (£103/$139).
