There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My only problem (and I knew this going in) is that they only hold 35 negatives (7 rows of 5 negative strips). I knew that I would be keeping these in a binder for school purposes, and this size fits perfectly in a 3 ring binder. I thought about just keeping a separate storage sheet for all the single extra negatives, but its easier to just remember to only shoot 35 frames instead of 36.
Overall, extremely happy with the quality of these sheets, and I will absolutely purchase this brand again.
Now, I have a contact-sheet index for all the film I've ever shot, and if I want a real copy of the picture, I know exactly which negative to scan. Yes, I'll still have to scan them at 2400x2400, using an actual negative scanner (mine's an Epson). But now it's not just a whole bunch of celluloid in a box.
I love shooting film, but I hate filing negatives. This takes care of that quite easily. The negs slide into the pages easily and the soft plastic means they won't get scratched as long as they don't have any dust on them. The plastic won't stick to the negs, but it will hold them in place, so if you need to have one enlarged it's a simple matter of removing it and taking it to the nearest enlarger. Of particular note is that the negs slide in from both sides, so it may be easier to push a strip out the other side if you need to remove it.
I like the writable area at the top of the sheet; I use a fine-tipped Sharpie to write on it instead of trying to use a ballpoint, and I find it works better.
The only problem I have is that a 36-exposure roll of film will take ten rows, so you have to use two pages for that roll. If you're like me and anal-retentive about how your negatives are filed, you'll end up wasting a fair amount of space on these lost rows, and so you'll have to buy more of these pages than you'd like. It's no reflection on the product, and you might want to find six-frame pages by the same maker and instruct your photofinisher to cut your negs into strips of six instead.
WHAT I LIKE:
- The sheets are completely see-through. While this may not sound like much, I have encountered many archival sheets with a mild opacity that makes viewing your negatives rather difficult. With these I can pop the sheet out of my Adorama Archival Binder Box and view them immediately on a light table or with a loupe.
- They are relatively well made. All said and done I have gone through about 60 of these sheets, and so far not a single one has torn near the "O" ring holes, nor have the dividers between rows shown any sign of coming loose. Again, rather straight forward but you would be surprised how many other brands don't pay much attention to this detail.
- There is a white bar along the top that allows for a permanent pen to write on it. This is PERFECT for neat archiving of negatives, and something that I am a little bit fussy about. There is plenty of space, so I can fit my "Lisbon, Portugal - June, 2010 - Minolta X700 - Ilford HP5+" (etc.) without running out of space.
SOME MINOR CAVEATS
- While I knew this beforehand, I can't seem to figure out why this comes in 7 strips of 5 negatives? Perhaps it has something to do with standard binder sizes? Either way, if you shoot a full 36 roll you are going to have one shot left out. I would HIGHLY recommend picking up the PrintFile Ultima Archival 6 rows x 6 negative sheets instead if you shoot 36 rolls...if you're just archiving old pictures, however, the 7x5 will do just fine.
- The sheets are a tiny bit thinner than others I have used. While this isn't a huge deal, it does means that if you don't flatten your negatives beforehand the pages will curl rather easily. I have used sheets in the past that were thicker and less prone to this, but it's a good idea to flatten your negatives with a couple of dictionaries beforehand anyway.
OVERALL
I found these out of necessity (6x6 was out of stock), but they really are rather decent and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to archive old pictures! If you are a stickler about organization, the aforementioned 6x6 sheets are much more convenient.
