Archival Storage Sheets 35-7B25 for 35mm Film Negatives 7 Strips 25 Pack

My photofinisher cuts my negatives into strips of four frames, and I couldn't for the life of me find negative pages that'd hold strips of that size with no wasted space. I like the four-frame strips, mostly because they're small and easy to handle, and these sheets take care of helping me file them away with no issues.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.

These work great, I've used them for a while. They're easy to write on with a pen and fit a standard 3-ring binder. They are very thin which is great for viewing the negatives. But use caution when placing in or removing from a binder so you don't tear the holes.

These are great negative storage sheets. If you print your own photographs in the darkroom, these are great for making quick contact sheets, so you never have to guess the contents of your film. Quality is exceptional, they are made of very nice plastic and have an area that you can label as well. The price from Amazon cannot be beat, and two days for shipping (Amazon Prime) is worth the wait, especially when the two photo stores in my area sell the exact same item for $15-$20.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.

These pages worked great for my negatives.

As a photographer who still shoots film on a weekly basis, I was very pleased to see some clear archival sheets for 35mm film here on Amazon. They are getting harder and harder to find in brick and mortar stores, and since they are no longer in high demand, stock is either old, has been stored improperly, or is lower quality. These sheets (PrintFile brand) are pretty decent, and apart from a couple of minor caveats are some of the best, low-cost sheets around.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.OVERALLI 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.

Excellent product. I recommend it. If you're trying to use standard 7-clip sleeves like they give you at the photo shop, they won't fit on a light table like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y21WQYQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1. This one will fit. I've recently archived about 100 rolls of film, and used these sleeves to assist. I plop the negatives on a light table, shoot a picture of them with my camera mounted on a tripod and pointed down, then flip the colors using Adobe Lightroom. I had to use about 2 1/2 stops more exposure than my Canon 70d wanted, but that was easy to fix. It took about 20 seconds per roll once I got the negs loaded in the sleeves. I should also say that I bought a piece of glass from my hardware store (about $5 for a 10" x 13" piece) to flatten the negatives.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.

Great way to store negatives; notebook sold separately
