hoda Darkroom Film Changing Bag Antistatic Camera Dark Room White Film Developing Tank Accessories - Extra Large Version

I shoot 4x5 and this bag is a must have for the field to load new film sheets. It is a little small, but it is still good

I find the bag to be a bit small so it can be a bit tricky to manage to get your film in your tank. But overall it does the job and I have no doubt that the bag will stay shut while i load the film.And that’s kind of the only thing you want.

This is a decent changing bag. I initially got it for emergency use, but now I've been developing my own film and have been using it to transfer my film into the reels. So far, no light leaks, even on the film rated ISO 3200.2 things could be better: more room in the bag would be welcome (probably always true), and the armholes are very snug. I'm a bigger person with 8 inch wrists, and I can't get my arms in as far as I'd like. On the other hand, if you have a slight build, you'll find this fits you well without worrying about light leaks.

Blocks out light as advertised. Roomy enough for a dual reel patterson tank, and the tools needed to get your film out and in the can.Make sure you practice your flim extraction a few times in the light. It's good to always have your tools, flim, and tank in the right place so you can find things by feel.And take off your smart watch before starting so it doesn't light up in the bag with your naked film.

It's a nice bag, large enough for my Patterson tank, with the spool taken out, but the arm holes are juuuust big enough for my hands (mid 20s girl). If the holes were any smaller, it'd be unusable. If you're a guy or have bigger hands, you might have issues with using this because the elastic will cut off your circulation.

Bought this changing bag to load film for development. Really nicely constructed. Easy to load. Plenty of room for all the necessities associated with loading a daylight film tank.Only reason I couldn't give 5 stars is that the outer elastic on one of the cuffs popped on the first one I ordered. Since this is part of the light-tightness of the bag, I had to return it and reorder. The replacement is fine.

I was on the fence as to which size to buy, and I'm glad that I went with the bigger size. I can easily load two reels in this bag and it gives me plenty of room to move around with my scissors and cassette opener.I had read that the synthetic bags get hot and sweaty, and look for a cloth/canvas bag. This one is synthetic, and even after fighting with a reel for a few extra minutes sometimes, I don't find that the bag is hot.

Not sure what is extra large about this changing bag. Once you get the tank, film, scissors and your hands in, there is barely room to actually work. The arm holes are super snug to the point of leaving deep rings on my arms after less then 10 minutes. Not to mention how sweaty your hands will get. I will be looking for a larger bag.
