Film Photography Fail!

Film Photography Fail!, a photo by Michael Raso - Film Photography Podcast on Flickr.

I purchased what I thought were light-proof black bags online in order to ship 4x5 sheet film for processing.

Surprise, surprise..I checked the black bag description..."These plastic bags are not light-tight by themselves." YIKES! Make sure your bags are light tight before sending exposed film to the processing lab!

The Polaroid Big Swinger 3000 was the first rigid plastic bodied packfilm instant camera, released in 1968 and made in the US. It features a T-bar strap used to hold and swing the camera during transport. It is also used to grip the camera during the pull stage of film development. It was sold for $24.95
