About this item:
A film changing bag, also called a darkroom bag or simply changing bag, is a lightproof bag for handling photosensitive materials. Made out of opaque fabric, it has elastic cuffs allowing you to handle items inside the bag while maintaining complete darkness inside. Darkroom bags come in different sizes to accommodate various formats and tasks. Film changing bags are a staple in 35mm motion picture shooting where magazines have to be loaded on set.
Changing bags are usually made of two layers of fabric to provide completely opaque environment. The inner fabric of good quality chaging bags should be treated to prevent static electricity charge build-up. A static discharge can fog undeveloped film, in addition to making dust and lint stick to it. Better quality models are also made from breathable fabric to prevent your hands from sweating inside during tricky tasks.
