Photographic Color Thermometer review

By RICHARD F.

Excellent thermometer for developing and a necessity for color film

While the original 12" Color Thermometer from Paterson Photographic offers a blend of precision and style, this enhanced version takes temperature measurement to the next level. With its easy-to-read calibrations and an extended temperature range of 60-150°F (15-65°C), this thermometer is perfectly suited for all color and black-and-white photographic processes, ensuring that your development is carried out at the optimal temperature every time.

Crafted for accuracy, the thermometer boasts fine calibrations at 0.5°F (0.5°C) intervals, allowing for meticulous temperature readings that are accurate to within +/-0.25°. This level of precision is celebrated by photography enthusiasts who require reliable and consistent results for their film development, as evidenced by user reviews praising its dependability and accuracy.

The 12" Color Thermometer is not only a practical tool but also a durable and high-quality addition to any photographer's kit. Its robust construction ensures longevity, while the stylish design complements the aesthetic of a well-equipped darkroom. The analog nature of the thermometer is a nod to traditional photography techniques, offering a tactile experience that many photographers find satisfying over digital alternatives.

This thermometer is a product of Paterson Photographic, a reputable brand synonymous with excellence in the photography equipment industry. Choosing this thermometer means investing in a tool that is trusted by professionals and hobbyists alike for its reliability and performance.

Included with the thermometer is a protective plastic storage tube, which safeguards the instrument when not in use, maintaining its pristine condition and accuracy for years to come. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or new to film development, the 12" Color Thermometer is an essential tool that combines functionality with an elegant, user-friendly design.
