Could someone please give>me some advise regarding a Stainless Nikor Film
Processing Tank.
Underneath the tank is written 'Tank,
>Processing, 4 by 5 Film, Spec. No. 75-272, Property, U. S. A. F.'
>Is it possible to use this tank for my Leica films?
>
>Any ideas about the tank itself?

Gary,

This is a SS Nikkor tank that is designed  for processing 12 sheets of sheet
film at a time. It can be adjusted and used for 4x5, or smaller sheet film
sizes but it is not designed to be used for roll film. (35mm, 120 etc.) Your
best bet would be to find someone who needs it and work out a trade for a 35
mm tank and reels. Good Luck.

Cheers,
