Kaiser Germany Steel Film Clips – Strong | 1 Pair Code: 4120

In the world of analog photography, small tools can make a big difference — and the Kaiser Germany Steel Film Clips are a perfect example. Designed with precision and durability in mind, these clips help you dry your negatives safely and efficiently, whether you’re working in a professional darkroom or developing film at home.

Made in Germany by Kaiser Fototechnik, a renowned manufacturer of high-quality darkroom accessories, this 1 pair set of Kaiser Germany Steel Film Clips is a must-have for every film enthusiast.

 What Are Kaiser Germany Steel Film Clips?

The Kaiser Germany Steel Film Clips are specially engineered stainless-steel clips used for hanging wet negatives (35mm, 120, or even sheet film) during the drying process. These clips ensure that the film remains straight, dust-free, and free from water streaks or curling.

Each pack includes:

• 1 upper clip with a spring mechanism and hook for hanging

• 1 bottom clip with a weighted design to hold the film straight

Whether you’re an amateur learning darkroom basics or a seasoned photographer developing film rolls daily, these clips offer reliability and convenience that DIY solutions can’t match.

 Key Features of Kaiser Germany Steel Film Clips

The build quality of the Kaiser Germany Steel Film Clips makes them far more reliable than plastic or improvised clips. Their weight helps keep film flat during drying, reducing curling — which is crucial for smooth scanning and archival storage.

 How to Use the Film Clips Effectively

1. After the final rinse (e.g., with Photo-Flo or a wetting agent), hold your film from the edges.

2. Attach the top clip with the hook to the sprocket holes or edges of the film.

3. Hang it on a drying line, rod, or in a drying cabinet.

4. Clip the bottom clip to the other end — this adds weight and keeps the film straight.

5. Allow 2–4 hours for the film to dry completely in a dust-free area.

 Why Drying Film Properly Matters

Drying is one of the most overlooked but crucial stages of film development. Uneven drying, curling, or dust contamination can ruin hours of work — or even damage your scanner.

The Kaiser Germany Steel Film Clips eliminate such risks by:

• Providing a firm grip on wet emulsion

• Maintaining film alignment during drying

• Avoiding physical contact with emulsion surface

• Being easy to clean and reuse

These qualities make them ideal for those who use drying cabinets or controlled environments, such as professionals using Ilford Pop-Up Darkroom setups.

 Perfect for Home & Lab Use

Whether you’re using a setup like the Paterson Universal Film Developing Tank – PTP115 or bulk developing multiple rolls with Fomapan 100 B/W Bulk Film, drying is the final, delicate step in your workflow.

Pair your Kaiser Germany Steel Film Clips with tools like:

• Photo-Flo 200 – to prevent drying spots

• Drying cabinets or dust-free bathroom setups

• Paterson or AP film developing kits
