Where to buy Hewes in the UK?

[Becoming]

Hello. I'm about to start developing my own film and have decided to go for Hewes stainless steel spirals. After much searching online I still seem unable to find a distributor for them in the UK. I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere I can get them? I'm also looking for a stainless steel tank too, big enough to develop two rolls of 35mm.

Thanks.

Michael

They sell direct: http://www.hewes.co.uk/. Great firm, great kit. Bob

Ah excellent! I had wondered if I could buy straight from there but didn't see any prices or shopping cart function. I'm guessing you just email the webmaster to place an order. Any idea how you pay?

Thanks for letting me know.

I think I got some reels from Retrophotographic, but I am not recommending them really. I know Mr CAD always has tons of second hand reels, so if you're near Croydon it's worth heading down there and sifting through what they have to find the Hewes ones. Tanks galore too.

I recently bought a SS tank and Hewes reel from Calumet (www.calumetphoto.co.uk) who also ship free to your nearest store.

Try secondhanddarkroom.co.uk. I've used them a few times and found them very helpful.

I recently bough some reels directly from Hewes. I just needed to exchange some emails and then use my credit card to pay. Everything was quick and nicely shipped to Denmark.

Thanks so much everyone for your help, it's really appreciated. Hopefully I'll have my hands on some of those reels soon after the New Year. I can't wait!
