What are some options when looking for a darkroom tent for film developing only? I've looked at the Nova Portable Darkroom Tent and while it fits my needs it's just too expensive for what it is...I've thought about checking out a grow tent but the silver lining inside made me think it might not be suitable for film developing.
I do have access to 2 photo labs where I can develop my own film but I don't like developing my own film where I work. Too many possibilities for distractions or interruptions. All I'm looking for in a darkroom tent is the ability to enter the tent with enough space for a fold out table to work on and a stool chair to sit on. I'm unable to develop sheet film in my bathroom because it's literally way too small. The Nova tent might actually be bigger than my actual bathroom lol.
I currently have a Fuji FD12 changing tent that barely works for 8x10 film developing but it gets really hot inside after a few minutes. There's also only space for (x3) 8x10 trays in vertical position with (x1) 8x10 tray in horizontal position on top. Enough for pre-wash, developer, water stop, and fix but I struggle with the small left over space for pulling my film out from a box/holder to start developing.
Anyone have an ideas on what I might be able to use? Again, preferably something with space for a table and chair inside.
Thanks!
