Category: Darkroom Equipment & Supplies

The Paterson Changing Bag (27.5 x 27.5) is an essential piece of equipment that any photographer should keep in a darkroom. It is one of the most simple items to use and can potentially save you from losing a roll of jammed film stuck inside a camera.

  • Having a changing bag on hand means that a jammed or partly exposed film can be safely removed from the camera and shooting can continue and it will allow a film to be loaded into a developing tank without having to first find a darkroom
  • It has a fail-safe double skin with a double zip closure and the comfortable inner lining is specially designed to avoid perspiration in prolonged use
  • The Paterson changing bag is small enough to fit into a camera bag, yet large enough to allow a camera back to be fully opened once inside or a film to be loaded into a tank

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Christopher F. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about how lightproof it would be, but I loaded three rolls of 120 film without a single fogged frame. The zipper slides smoothly and the double flaps seal tight, so it's easy to work inside even in a bright room.

Abigail ★★★★★

This bag’s double zipper system makes loading film reels feel secure, and the fabric blocks light completely—I tested it with a flashlight. The 27.5-inch size gives just enough room to work without feeling cramped.

Ava F. ★★★★★

I've got about two rolls of film loaded into tanks in this bag without any light leaks—the 27.5 x 27.5 size gives just enough room to work comfortably. The zipper is smooth and the fabric feels sturdy, nothing cheap about it.
