As someone who fumbled a few times loading film into stainless tanks, I can see the value in this. But the Lomo brand makes me wary.

"you don't have to carry a darkbag so it is completely portable"

But also

Photographers must supply their own development chemicals and have access to water, measuring containers, a timer, and safe chemical storage bottles.

Not sure this is the revolution we are looking for, or the one they think it is.

Also, a darkbag is a bag. Like you can store/transport things in bags. They're pretty portable.

Seems quite convenient for small shooters (like me). I'll wait to see the build quality (I have no experience with Lomo products).

My experience has been that the build quality isn't terrible, just mediocre, but their products are quite overpriced.

Thanks :)

Oh nice. An overly complicated solution to a problem that was solved decades ago.

Drowning the film cartriges in poisonous chemicals is a nice bonus.

These kind of things aren't anything new, arguable the old rondinax tanks did this better.
