Oversize Film Changing Bag Camera Dedicated Film Developing Darkroom Zipper Bag Double Layer Load Photography 27.3X28.26'' Photography Accessories (DHAD)

I have been developing my own films at home for more than 10 years, and a good bag is necessary to start the development process with the Paterson system.The size is quite large and enough to use it in your developing process, which I have felt that the fabric is a bit thin, but that also makes it lighter and more practical to store.I have already done 2 revealed without any problem, and for the price it seems like a good option.

Good sized film changing bag. I like how there's a zipper and a velcro flap at the bottom to keep the light out. My only complaint is that the inner liner (the silver-plated sunshade fabric) is just stiff plastic sheeting. While it might be good for shielding light, it's stiff and kind of scratchy on your wrists/arms when you have them in the bag. If you are in the bag for a long time it might irritate or scratch your bare skin. Otherwise, I think it will work just fine.

This bag gives more than enough room for manipulating cameras, film and reels for at-home photo processing. The bag has sleeves on either side for putting hands in the bag so that film can be manipulated with bare fingers. The other end of the bag has an opening that spans the entire side. The opening has a double closure so that light will not get in.The bag is very well made and looks like it will last a long time. It is an essential part of a film processing kit.

I ordered this Darkroom Equipment Oversize Film Changing Bag to replace my old changing bag.I use a changing bag to load film onto developing reels, to load 4x5 film holders, and to load 4x5 film into a developing tank. Unfortunately, I left my changing bag on a chair the last time I used it and my cat decided it would make a nice bed. Now, my changing bag is covered with cat fur, and I no longer trust it. It only takes a single cat hair to mess up a roll of film.This bag is not as large as my old one, but I had no trouble fitting a 35mm tank and four 35mm reels into it. I also grabbed some 4x5 film holders and put them in the bag. Loading film holders requires more space, and I'd say that trying to do more than 3 film holders at a time can get awkward.The cuffs on the changing bag fit nice and tight around my arms, and the bag seems to be totally lgiht-tight. At least, there were no light leaks on any of the film I loaded onto reels inside the bag. Although the listing says that the bag is air permeable, my hands definitely got clammy after they were inside the bag for five minutes or so. Honestly, though, that's been my experience with all changing bags.If you;ve been tempted to try shooting and self-developing some film, you really need one of these changing bags.

I've used this bag several times and have had no issues. It zips tight and the elastic doesn't cut off my circulation like a previous bag I owned and have since returned. Whether you're learning the fine art of film photography and need to put your film in developing tanks or having trouble rewinding the roll from your camera and need complete darkness, you shouldn't be without this bag.
