I know how hard it is to be a film photographer, having your film developed by another person and you posting the skims on your social pages or even your website without taking it to the darkroom for necessary adjustments. Now this is good news for you regardless of your living situation or busyness thanks to the new “Ilford Popup Darkroom”
The Ilford Popup Darkroom is manufactured for photographers who want to print their negatives and otherwise may struggle to convert existing spaces into suitable working darkrooms especially if your house is not big enough to create one. Also, it gives photographers the opportunity to print on the go without converting their space.
The dimension of the Pop-up darkroom comes with the external dimension of 7.2ft or 2.2m while the internal workspaces of the Pop-up darkroom cost 4.3×4.3 or 1.3×1.3m which to me sounds a bit clumsy to stick one’s head or body, however, there’s a built-in air-van at the base which allows you to a fan-blow yourself or at the top head of the van, to allow the air go out. When parked it fits into its doff bag which weighs 8k.
The darkroom has a durable light-tight black material that clips to the frame in addition to an accompanying ground mat which adds extra protection for the flooring and can also be fastened to the darkroom material. It also has a material loop at the top to allow the photographer’s hand a safelight.
I know you must have been wondering about its cost so you can get one, well the price is $265 which is about N133,000.00(One Hundred and Thirty-Three thousand naira), although this is subject to change depending on the exchange rate. This might sound cheaper to many, so if you’re looking for that easy-to-use darkroom Ilford Popup Darkroom is your best option.
