Hate standing over a tank, watching the clock and agitating every few seconds?
AGO automates agitation with precise intervals and continuous agitation. A timely alarm gives you confidence and frees you to focus on something else while the film develops.
Frustrated by chemical temperatures drifting and ruining your batch?
AGO ensures your chemistry is at the exact required temperature throughout the process. If the temperature slips AGO automatically compensates time, eliminating uneven development and ensuring perfect negatives.
Developing a lot of film has gotten too expensive at lab, but color processing looks hard?
AGO has in-built processing programs for each film type and popular chemistry kits that keep you on track and in the know even without needing the chemical use instructions and the time compensation system makes developing easy and reliable.
AGO gives you consistency, peace of mind and freedom.

Real benefits 90-days after getting yourself an AGO
Real benefits 90-days after getting yourself an AGO
You’ll feel encouraged to shoot even more film.
The long-term savings in lab costs and chemical costs will save you money to spend on more film. If you’re shooting black and white you might just find yourself experimenting with color more.
Excitement of unwinding your own film from the reel.
If you’re just getting into home developing film, this is what you’ll absolutely love. The feeling of opening the tank and seeing your film developed by you is hard to describe.
Full control over your film.
You are choosing the look of your images now by selecting the development chemicals to use, whether to push or pull the film or what happens at the scanner or darkroom printing step.
More experiments, more of photography.
Your can grow with AGO, whether you’ll now be doing experimental developments no lab wants to hear about or even darkroom printing your own film shots. AGO has capabilities for the whole journey!
How developing with AGO works
Set program, pour in developer and hit start
Pour out chemicals when timer runs out
Admire your home processed film
I like how the AGO wraps temperature compensation, timer and agitation functions together in a compact form. I have developed about 10 rolls of film with the AGO and it has really simplified a lot of the process and freed my hands up to do other tasks while it works
It’s compact which is great. It manages the time compensation of the development for both black and white and colour making managing processing film much easier and removes the element of doubt!
It improved my film development so much

How it works
Technical info
Active Time-Temperature Compensation
Designed with Active Time-Temperature Compensation, AGO continuously monitors your chemical temperature in the tank and compensates development time for any drop-off or increase in chemical temperature.
This ensures you get perfect negatives with every development.
AGO doesn’t heat the chemicals for you. You need to get the temperature right for the beginning of your development and AGO will take it from there, allowing you to have flexibility while developing without the need to meticulously follow the temperatures during development.
Automatic Agitation
Featuring both horizontal rotational and vertical stick agitation modes.
While we typically recommend the rotational mode for its chemical efficiency and compatibility with time compensation, you have the flexibility to adjust the default agitation speed and intervals for both agitation modes according to your personal preferences.
A timely alarm alerts you before the next developing step ensuring you are prepared at the right time for the next chemical.
Less Chemical Consumption
With horizontal rotational agitation, you can save up to 60 % on chemicals depending on your use case and the size of the Paterson tank you decide to use.
Choose the tank for your use case to benefit.
Compatible with Paterson Super System 4
Use every Paterson Super System 4 developing tank from the smallest 1-reel tank up to the biggest 8-reel tank. Develop up to 8 rolls of film at once or develop photographic paper with a special reel developed by Vintage Visual.
Wi-Fi Connectivity
You can connect to your AGO with Wi-Fi to modify and create your own programs for processes and keep the software updated. Connect it with a phone or your computer.
