Mobile darkroom for analogue photographers

Ilford Photo, known for its film rolls, has announced a pop-up darkroom. In this mobile darkroom, you can make prints without having to make the entire room lightproof. In fact, it is a tent that keeps the light out well.
The dark tent is 2.2 metres high and has an internal space of 1.3 by 1.3 metres. There is an air vent that you can connect a fan to, if you wish. That doesn't seem unnecessary when you are working with chemicals.
The tent is supplied without any of the equipment, so you will still have to search Marktplaats for an enlarger and the other essentials at a low price.
In a dark past, I also used to make prints of my own analogue black-and-white photos. Sealing the bathroom was always at least half an hour to an hour's work. So I understand that this could be the perfect solution for many photographers.

Well, this seems more like a toxic steam room to me! It reminds me of the time I darkened the window of my student room with a softboard panel covered with black plastic. Then your room was pitch dark in one go. Although: you did have to put a rolled-up towel in front of the door.
