Precision analog photograpy tools. Minimalist design. Built to last.
Welcome to NordicLab — a channel dedicated to the craft and science of analog photography.
Here, I dive deep into film photography, color darkroom printing, black-and-white printing,
and the full process of working with photographic film — from shooting and developing to printing and archiving.
I build and repair darkroom equipment, improve film processors, scan film, test chemicals,
and explore how to get the best results from analog workflows.
The main focus of this channel is color film photography and color printing in the darkroom,
using RA-4 and other traditional processes. I also share my work in black-and-white printing,
DIY improvements for enlargers and processors, and how to maintain and restore vintage analog gear.
Whether you’re looking for inspiration, technical guidance, or just a deeper connection with the physical
process of making photographs — NordicLab is the place for film photographers, darkroom printers, and
anyone passionate about analog image-making.
Paterson Rapid Loader
Purpose Main purpose for the development of this tools - create better way to load film on existing paterson reels and also make a first steps for automatic loading for Film Development machine project. Because i decided to make a step-by-sep interations - it’s a good start to make a mechanical prototype which can resembles loading mechanism in the final machine. Materials and productioin Both of the designes as a step file you can find on my ko-fi webpage ...
