Light-tight
Refers to any room or containers that is absolutely dark inside, allowing no unwanted light to penetrate.
Light-tight - term denoting a material or piece of equipment that is impervious to light.
Light trail - image track recorded on photographic material when a point of light is shifted during exposure.
As for light-tight, do as good as you can, depending on what you have to work with, then test the room. Leave a piece of paper sitting out for a few times the normal exposure-to-fixing time, with your safelights on, then process it.
Body. The light-tight box that contains the camera mechanisms and protects the film from light until you are ready to make an exposure.
Cassette. Light-tight container for 35 mm camera film.
Cast. An undesirable tinge of color in an image.
CCD Charge-Coupled Device. Electronic light-sensitive surface, digital replacement for film.
Light-tight film holder for large format cut film.
Darkcloth
Cloth made of a dark material and placed over the Photographers head and camera back to help the viewing and focusing of images on the ground glass screen of a Large format camera.
Darkroom - light-tight room

-Paper safe - light-tight container for unexposed photographic papers, with an easy open positive closing lid.
To create a light-tight environment behind the lens so the image would be visible, imagine instead that the lens is mounted on the front of an empty camera body.
In 1891 a daylight loading version of roll film was offered by Kodak, the roll enclosed in a carton, with paper ends to have the film wrapped light-tight when loading or unloading. The modern paper backed roll film was developed by Samuel N.
The film itself has the same dimensions (35 mm wide) and perforations (16 per 72 mm) (KS1870) as 35 mm movie print film but is enclosed in a light-tight cassette to allow cameras to be loaded in daylight. The standard image format is 24 Ã- 36 mm.
Though mechanically simple (the "body" itself is little more than a light-tight box) comapred to modern SLRs and digital cameras, the view camera can make stunningly beautiful images in the right hands.
A view camera is fundamentally a light-tight box with a slot at one end for a lens and a slot at the other for the film. You compose and focus your image on a groundglass, then displace the glass with a sheet of film four by five inches in size.

Bellows: Light-tight folding sleeve in view cameras that connects the lens to the body. Also an accessory used on smaller formats for close-up work.
His sensitized paper would need to be kept in a light-tight environment. This is very much like today's true photographic print paper in that it, too, must be manufactured and stored in light-tight environments.
There are a number of ways to build this sort of camera -- some enthusiasts have even used old refrigerators and cars as light-tight boxes. One of the most popular designs uses an ordinary cylinder oatmeal box, coffee can, or similar container.
At the most basic level, a camera is a light-tight box with the means of transferring light in a controlled manner from the outside world to a light-sensitive medium producing an image.
I have used both and they are both very capable light-tight boxes. I particularly like the R3M's mechanical operation and in fact, I would own one today had I not come across the very good deal I got on my M6. Also kudos for the Seagull TLR.
and so on) Unless the camera is broken in some way - perhaps if its internal components are misaligned or it's cracked and leaking light - the camera body itself doesn't matter. Many photographers jokingly refer to cameras as "light-tight boxes" to ...
