I have metal clips with teeth that just goes into the sprocket holes, though I have no idea about the manufacturer since I bought them second hand, been trying to search on google without success.

I use either buldog paper clips or wooden clothes pegs, they never leave a mark on either my film or paper

I use wooden clothes pins, the spring-loaded kind. No marks on the film, but I attached them to the unexposed film ends, not to the actual exposed frames.

I use wooden clothes pins and metal binder clips. For 35mm and 120 I"m always clipping it to part of the leader that gets cut off anyways. If you are looking for non marking for large format negatives, I'm not too sure.

wooden clothes pins
usually from the dollar store.

I used to use wooden cloths pins but they left sawdust/wood fiber debris... So I use the Paterson clips now for 35mm and 120/70mm and though they pierce the leader, that's cut off anyway, they don't leave streaks or drip water, are weighted, I'm a convert give them a try

Patterson. They have little pins that pierce the film. Great for sheet film as they can hold the film securely by a corner without getting into the image area.

I find clothespins let the film slip.

Flipped clothes pins. I also have a plastic clothes drying rack that is basically a rectangular grid with 20 something rotating clothes pins attached to it, I clip my film there and wooden pins on the bottom for weight.

You are welcome.

Be sure that they grip firmly (I had one that didn't).

They are actually heavy enough to work for the bottom as well.

yea I'm not sure they are the same as yours, as they don't have a cheap feel at all and the springs are really really strong/tight, so I was very excited to find them, I think i'll still use the Paterson if I only have 1-2 strips of 120 as I really like the weight and how the film dries nicely with no worry of a drop of water sliding down from the pins... but if I have a lot I'll use these, they seem perfect for 35mm though. Thanks again.

I use these - not this exact one, but lots of very similar out there.

They DO mark the film/paper as they have a strong grip, however you can grip with 1/8" - 3mm of contact so the contact point is well outside the image area. I also clip one at either corner of the hanging negative strip to keep it straight.
