The Ilford Pop-Up Darkroom is the perfect solution for film photographers who want to print their negatives and otherwise may struggle to convert existing spaces into suitable working darkrooms.

The external metal frame is approximately 2.2m tall when erected. It should fit in most standard ceiling height rooms in European, American and Asian homes while still creating a workable 1.3 x 1.3m space to print while standing or seated.

A durable light-tight black material clips to the frame, while an accompanying ground mat offers protection for your flooring, and you can fasten it to the darkroom material.

A built-in air vent towards the base of the darkroom allows you to use it for an optional fan/air blower, and once sealed, the incoming air will also expand the inner dimensions. A smaller vent closer to the top of the darkroom lets you attach other air extraction tubes (not included).

It contains a material loop at the top to hang a safelight, and the best thing is that you can easily fold it all down for storage or transportation in the included carry case.

Dimensions when erected (approx.): Floor footprint 1.3m x 1.3m. Height 2.2m

Bag dimensions: 68 x 25 x 25cm

Included: Darkroom, poles, groundsheet and storage bag

Hazel J. ★★★★★

Setting this up in my living room took under ten minutes, and the light-tight zipper is much sturdier than I expected. It's amazing to have a fully functional darkroom without permanently sacrificing a bathroom.

Steven ★★★★★

Finally, I can print in my tiny apartment without worrying about light leaks—the built-in ventilation kept the air surprisingly fresh. The pop-up frame is sturdy enough that I don't feel like I'm working in a tent. It's transformed my weekend workflow entirely.

Robert ★★★★★

Finally got one after months of waiting, and it honestly transformed how I work—the pop-up frame goes from flat to fully usable in under a minute, no tools needed. I was skeptical about the light-tightness, but the zippered seams hold up perfectly in my cramped hallway. If you're stuck without a ded
