Another casualty of the changing times for darkroom. 
Kenro make (made) my favourite tongs, 10 inches long, stainless steel,
replaceable rubber tips, perfect shape, firm grip with minimal pressure,
never mark the emulsion, never snap.
Guess what - they have discontinued production.
 
I have searched around all my suppliers for decent alternatives and the
choice is very limited for these grossly underestimated tools! It may sound
trivial but I think that really good tongs are not only a joy to use, they
are surprisingly hard to find.
 
So what are your favourite tongs, why and where do you get them?
