Hama Negative File Storage Sleeves | Each Holding 4 strips of 6 x 7 cm or 6 x 9cm Frames | Pack of 100 | Glassine

For the filing and storing of 35mm negatives these 'glassine' paper negative sheets are about the best type available in my experience. Normally I cut my negatives into strips of 6 frames but if I've managed to get 37 frames out of a 36-exposure roll of film as I sometimes do, these sheets allow me to cut a few strips of the film (or the whole film) up into strips of 5 frames and still accommodate them all. The glassine paper material from which these neg. files are made has a kind of very soft and smooth quality about it making the sleeves ‘anti-scratch’ and they are not only archival and kind to your negatives but the glassine also facilitates easy loading and withdrawal of your negatives. These Hama sleeves, which are actually manufactured in Germany, also provide excellent protection for your negatives and of course they can be used with ANY A4 Ring-Binder Folder for storing (I personally don't normally buy or use the folders deemed to be for Photographic use as you're expected to pay a premium price for them). Finally, these Hama neg. sheets also represent great value for money - and if you purchase a pack of 100 Sheets rather than a pack of 25 Sheets, they are exceptionally good value for your money.

Love these, good for storing flat and keeping a record.

This is a cost effective way of storing and preserving old negatives. When I did some research I found that some people preferred plastic sleeves and some preferred Glassine sleves. There are pros and cons of both materials. Glassine sleeves are cheaper than polypropylene plastic sleeves and you can write on them. Plastic sleeves are more waterproof and durable. Glassine sleeves can easily get damaged by water contact and consequently the negatives can stick to them. I decided to go for Glassine negative storage files and just make sure they were kept in a safe dry place. The reason I rated the product only 4 stars is because the made to measure manufacturers file case with the outer slipcase is very expensive. In the end, I decided to improvise another way to store the negative file sheets.

I've been using these for years and continue to shoot film so they were an ideal purchase. Past experience is that they last for a very long time and keep the negatives pristine. Perfect design for function.Easy to insert negatives and a perfect size / fit for most negative albums such as the Hama.

Easy to use, right size and can write on paper

These are perfect for the job, not to heavy you can write in the surface. There’s a header space no date title. Easy to get the negative in and out. Economical. Have that traditional feel.About to buy a second box

Paired with an archival folder this set of negative holders provides superb storage of treasured family photo negatives. Time will obviously tell if the reported capabilities are true, however no worries from the initial experience of loading up the pages.

The sleeves are thin as some people have said, but I don't feel this makes them cheap. The negatives are held well and you get a lot in there.My only gripe is that there is a backing sheet that lays under where the negatives are held and this makes the negatives pretty much impossible to see even when held to the light. I guess it is to offer some protection, but I don't think it is necessary and is more an annoyance. I have found though that simply cutting off the backing sheet greatly improves things. Also the negatives are quite a tight fit so don't slide in very easily.If you are just going to store the negatives without a need to access them often or shuffle them around then that's fine, but if you intend to pull them out now and again, say to scan the negatives into a computer, then they are not terribly convenient compared to other storage solutions that are both easier to slide the negatives into and also give better visibility of the negatives.However they are reasonably priced and do their basic job just about adequately.
