Changing bags

[cliveh]

Why don’t the manufacturers of changing bags sew the inner and outer bag together, so you can’t put everything in the lining by mistake?

Great question. I can't tell you how many times I've loaded a changing bag and then got a big surprise when I stick my hands in the holes.

I so not have that problem with this:

I has and inner and outer zipper, but they are held together.

I use one and my complaint is no flat bottom. Everything wants to congregate in the middle.

The one I referred to has a flat bottom.

... sew the inner and outer bag together ...

What a great idea! Thanks! (Runs to the closet to get needle and thread).

Do not let the needle make light leaks!

Thx Sirius Glass - that looks like a GREAT changing bag/tent!

I've looked at the Harrison changing tents and the price is just out of touch with reality for what it is.

The only problem that I have with that bag is that working with Grafmatic 45s are a little tight.

The OP uses a 35mm Rangefinder. It is absurd to spend $257.00 for a changing bag. I put together an entire darkroom for less than that.

How does that help when you have a problem in the field?

That's not a problem I'd ever encounter! I'm using 120 film and will never make the leap to LF. Besides, my $12 eScam changing bag works fine for the foreseeable future. I'm not in the market for too much these days (aside from needing to pick up some b&w film for photographing a friends newborn).

All the same, I book marked the link to that changing "cube" and maybe it can go on my Christmas list.

I have had both and sold the cube, kept the Harrison. The cube is such a PITA to set up & take down. If you can leave is set up, not so bad, except takes up a lot of room and collects dust. I purchased a like new Harrison for about a $100 but it does take time to find a deal like that. It is very easy & quick to set up & take down. YMMV
