How do you hang your film

[rcmartins]

I use dental X-ray film hanger clips which I bought off of Ebay.

I use this with about half the clips removed. Will hold securely on to the tiniest of corners. Works a charm.

The UK may be a bit far for most of you to go, but this is the best illustration of the type of clip I found and it does a good job. Cut a bit of the hoop away, leaving a hook that you can hang over a wire stretched between two anchors. Use one clip on the corner of a piece of film so it hangs with the diagonally opposite corner down. Leaves no residue and will not get in the image area.

I forgot to add that most of my film isn't worth hanging. I just line them up and shoot them firing squad style, without so much as a blindfold or last cigarette.

I use plastic clothes pins but some of them don't hold tightly enough to hold the film. The best ones I've found were at the dollar store. Binder clips work very well also, but the metal ones will eventually rust.

This is what I use for 4x5 and 8x10 film and fiber-based paper:

They don't require an extensive bite to hold the film but always grasp the clips firmly when transporting to the dryer as back and forward movement of the slippery film will cause it to drop out and onto the floor. If you shoot Fuji Acros, you can also use them to clasp a paper clip and run the end of the latter through the hole. If not, then clasp the film where the hole is and you won't leave any mark on the negative. Just be careful when transporting as mentioned above.

I've used two packs (20) of these constantly over the past 8 or so years and they hold as firmly now as they did when brand new. At a buck apiece you can't go wrong.

+!, and well-said!

Ah, nuts - just use your cheesy old wooden clothespegs, and drive a thumbtack through one jaw to pin your sheet like an insect to a board. The bigger the surface of the grip, the more you are likely to end up with a compromised area in the corner ,which you will have to crop out later - losing "real estate" in the process.

Scroll down for the clips. I prefer them to other types - tiny footprint on the corner of the film, stainless steel.

It's the exact same clip as in the Post #16 (B&H link).

Want to rephrase that? I don't think hanging is allowed anymore. Lethally injecting your film????
