Rated 4 out of 5

A little expensive, but gives the best results for 35mm film

These things are great. It's obviously a very simple accessory, but it has two key features working for it that I think make it worth the extra cost compared to its competitors: 1) it literally punctures the film when you snap it closed, so you don't really have to worry about anything sliding off; and 2), unlike most other film hangers, it has two points of contact, which seems like it helps the film dry flatter. Bottom line, I have four sets, and if I needed more, I would buy more of these. The only minor issue is that the weighted (bottom) end isn't quite heavy enough. Thankfully it has those hook ends though, so I usually just attach a lens case pouch with some heavy items inside (coins, old batteries, etc.) to give it a little extra pull. Oh, also, this is definitely better for 35mm film. For 120 film I just use heavy-duty metal chip clips I found on Amazon.

BEST FILM CLIPS EVER

Let's be real, these film clips are not cheap. On the other hand they are literally the best thing on the market in my experience. I will always buy these clips even though they hurt my wallet. You should definitely buy them though because they work so well I will never use anything different for hanging my film. Clothespins work temporarily but only until the new clips show up on my doorstep. I bought them, I recommend you do the same.

Under weighted

Have not used as of yet. I received four clips as ordered, but three were not weighted leaving me with only one with weight. Not a big deal I’m going to call and see if I can order two that are weighted.
