Ilford Darkroom tent
Is anyone on here using the Ilford darkroom tent? I am thinking of getting one at some point for a stop gap before I can build a darkroom so wondered what your views are on it.
Thanks David |

Sorry no idea, Quendil, but purely speculative on my part, I'd say that given the price and Ilford's launch of it with quite a fanfare, I'd be surprised if it didn't meet the requirements needed for a genuine darkroom tent

Looking at it again on Firstcall's website, I definitely would have bought one in the past, before having my permanent darkroom, that I have now and especially since it is so much cheaper than the Nova version. http://www.film-and-darkroom-user.or...+darkroom+tent https://www.firstcall-photographic.c...arkroom/p13074 And do report back if you make the decision to buy one.

In the beginning I had to use such a closed bed linen "bag" (cotton), I don't find the translation, as a darkroom tent for developing my sheetfilm in open trays.
A business of 15 to 20 minutes. Today I can't tell if the film really has been more wet than me, but I still remember popping out the longing for a snorkel! I really can't imaging enlarging and developing in a plastic tent, but waterproof persons could benefit from such a tool. |

I have a feeling that Keith Tapscott (Friend) may have tried one, or at least was thinking about using one. Maybe if he sees this he will chime in.

Luckily I have a Nova slot processor as there's not much room for trays. |

Thanks Keith - hopefully Quendil wil see this and it will be of some help. I have seen them at exhibitions etc and thought they were a good idea and quite useable. Neil.

thanks all, I’ve had a few more responses on another forum as well and the main issue seems to be only really room for small trays and it getting hot. I think I will put the money towards getting my proper darkroom completed even if it takes longer.
