Paterson Print Tongs (Set of 3)

The textured grip on these tongs makes handling wet paper much easier than with the smooth plastic ones I used before. They’re lightweight but feel sturdy enough for daily darkroom work, and the set covers all the sizes I need for developing.

Finally, tongs that actually grip the paper without slipping in the developer tray. The angled tips make it easy to flip prints without touching the emulsion.

I was worried about scratching my prints during development, but these tongs have a nice, firm grip that feels secure in the hand. The set of three is perfect for keeping chemicals separate, and the handles are long enough to keep my fingers dry.
