Is it worth buying the ptp574 rather than the ptp573 starter kit, what are the differences?

Yes, the ptp 574 also contains sachets of ilford simplicity chemicals to get you started. A film canister opener and the 3rd cylinder is bigger. I would also recommend getting a large changing bag.

can this do colour film?

No, this is black and white only. For colour you need to look for either C-41 developer kit or E-6 developer kit depending on what your film requirements are.

Can I develop 120mm films on this kit?

Yes. It comes with 2 spools, these can be adjusted to fit 35mm, 127 amd 120 film

Will this process 120 film

YES 120 COLOUR ILFORD DO THE BLACK & WHITE
