Accurate for film processing
I recently started processing film at home again, after leaving it for over 20 years. I needed a thermometer for checking and monitoring the temperature of water baths and chemicals.This works quite well. It is accurate within a half degree F which is sufficient for color film processing, It responds to temperature changes quickly, like when I put it in a bottle of developer to check the temperature before pouring it into the developing tank. The price was reasonable.The attached photos are black and white shots were developed using this thermometer to verify that the temperature was within the correct range. Black and white is more forgiving than color, but the photos came out well with both Kodak TMAX 100 and Kodak Tri-x 400.

Thermometer was reading 30 C when air temperature was 20. Inserted into water which I know is usually around 23 degrees C it still read 30. For a photographic thermometer where even one degree makes a difference that’s a ridiculous degree of inaccuracy. Not fit for purpose.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not accurate (revised)

Update:

Changed to 3 stars because including instructions could have saved some returnd. Seems that some of these are being sent out improperly adjusted. This is probably causing the incorrect readings others are reporting.

I managed to get mine to start giving correct readings as follows:
1) use a digital thermometer as reference
2) Add water to a container, enough to submerge at least half of the thermometer probe.
3) Add some ice to significantly drop tem of water to around 15C/59F.
4) Put the digital thermometer in and note reading
5) add this thermometer and let settle for at least 1 minute.
6) quickly pull this thermometer out and, while firmly holding the dial, use a small wrench or plier to twist the nut located under the dial to move the needle to match what the digital thermometer is reading.
Do this a few times as your hand will heat up the thermometer and chage the needle's location.

This should address the problem thermometers that have been giving the wrong reading.

As always:
Your milage may vary
Do this at your own risk
May void manufacturer warranty
I make no claims as to the correctness of the information posted above.
___

Took out of box and noticed it was reading temp a bit higher than room temp.

Placed in water with ice cubes and it never got below 60F/16C.

Added a digital thermometer that reads, after ice cubes melted, 72F/63C while this thermometer os reading 85F/30C. This is completely useless for developing as it is very temperature dependent.

Returning asap.

I can guess better than this can measure. Measures 55F in the fridge (actually 35) and 90 in the house (actually 80). Since it’s not off by a fixed amount I wouldn’t even be able to adjust it by turning the nut as others have done. Returning. Will look for a ‘vintage’ one on eBay with a track record.

3.0 out of 5 stars Was not at all accurate out of the box
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2023

Like many metal stem thermometers, it’s important to periodically check the accuracy with a known value. My copy of this thermometer read 60° in a glass of ice water. It obviously should read 32°. There is a hex nut on the back of the dial that you can use to twist the pointer to 32° once in ice water. I have an older Taylor model thermometer that reads accurately and did so when new apparently. That might be to much to ask from these cheaper brands. That thermometer was twice as expensive and I can’t seem to find it anymore. This one seems to be ok now that I’ve adjusted it. I highly recommend that you check it first.

Mal empacado. Ignoro si eso haya sido causa del error de lectura. Contra dos termómetros de laboratorio calibrados a <0.1°C miente por 1.5°C más a 20° y a 37.5° (Lectura = +1.5°C). Inaceptable para el uso anunciado de "cuarto oscuro" donde se necesita una exactitud de =<0.5°
Voy a preguntar al proveedor si lo puedo ajustar yo o, si no es posible, lo devolveré.
