Paterson PTP125 Overview

The Paterson Changing Bag 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.

Works perfectly when used with my Jobo 1520 tank for 35mm. Simple and durable with no light leaks.

Well made and a nice size for loading the developing tank, the bulk film loader and the 4x5 film holders.

When you need to change film...

It's nice and roomy, could put a bunch of holders and film in the bag at the same time. Not as nice as changing in a darkroom but if you have to, this is certainly a reliable way to go. I saw some grumbling about how tight the sleeves are, they are quite snug but not overly so (I'm average build), but am glad they are snug to to prevent light leaks.

Works well

Bag is dense and well made. Very secure. Arm holes are right at first and it definitely makes me feel confident that no light is getting through.

best bag

Worth the extra money. Better fit, thicker fabric, higher quality than the cheaper ones.

Good size and easy to use

There's plenty of space inside to load a roll of 120 on a Paterson tank, and it's still possible to use it on a regular desk. Build quality seems very good, though I can't comment on the durability. The elastic is very snug, which is reassuring; I only pull it up to the forearms. It seems to be perfectly light tight, as you'd expect, but I still use it in subdued light.

could be a little larger, but very useable

I load my 120 film into the jobo tanks with too much problems, could be a little bit bigger, but it gets the job done when you figure out where to put things into it before using.

Does everything it should.

Quality fabrication and very fonctionnal. I would recommend to anyone who doesn't have a dark room.

Is the inside of the bag dust free?
Asked by: Suzanne
It’s dust free when brand new and still in the packaging. Whether it remains dust free depends on whether the equipment placed inside is dust free and how it’s stored. I think a small amount of dust inside the bag is inevitable but shouldn’t cause any serious issues.
