WTB - UPB-1A Lomo tank (16mm, 15M/50ft)

Duncan Brown · April 14, 2021

Looking for a UPB-1A tank in the US for less than the crazy prices on eBay for the ones in Russia and the Ukraine, and for less shipping cost than those take to get to me. Surely someone sprung for one at some point and no longer needs it? I'm looking to develop some B&W 16mm Magazine film and this seems like the least-bad option.

Thanks,

Duncan

Really? Nobody has one stashed in the attic somewhere, that they'd be willing to sell along to the next crazy person?

Doesn't help you but I just snagged one off ebay in the US for a total of $160, there out there!

Dang! Incredibly long story, but I totally forgot I had years ago picked up a 16mm reel for my Nikor long-roll 35mm tank and reel setup! Found it hiding inside the tanks when I went to move them this weekend. So I think I'm good with that, and don't need to mess with a Lomo tank after all. I own too much crap, I tell ya...
