I have found that this changing bag is probably best for situations where storage space is at a premium, such as when traveling. For use at home, I acquired a dark tent that, while it requires much more setup time, provides ample volume, including height, for handling 8x10 film and holders. The problem with this bag is that it is a bit too crowded vertically.
My 4X5 and 35 mm tanks fit just fine. Bag works, zippers work. I also have the Arista bag. No real difference to speak of. Matter of preference, I think.
I was a bit worried when I was ordering this bag. I was concerned about the sleeves being too tight for my hands, or the bag not being high enough quality, or not big enough to fit my two-reel Patterson tank. Phew, it turned out to be just fine. The quality of material is amazing: it's lightweight, but also durable and slick, i.e. cat hair and other [email protected] does not stick to it. It comfortably fits my tank, scissors and everything else I need, and I never had any light leaks, despite holding some film inside for nearly an hour (I had difficulties learning how to load into a Patterson tank) and it does not make my hands go numb, i.e. it's not too tight. And the best part, it can be folded and stored in a small space when not in use. I have no suggestions for improvements, it's absolutely perfect.
It’s a good size, I use it to load films. No light leaks.
This bag have very nice touch, low weight and very good protection of light.
I have read other comments and some mentioned the possibility of light leaks if use in light. I did the test with even sunlight and nothing just happened to my film. I works ok, it's cheap, easy to use... I usually use long sleeve shirts to prevent any kind of light leak for being sure. The only thing is this will make you sweat if you last a lot of time in it mounting your film on the tank.
The cheapest bag out there, but it works great. The double zipper has a flap over the inner zipper and the arm holes are pretty snug against my arms. Plenty of room to work in the bag and it folds up fairly small.
I have been using a very old, falling apart, small changing bag to load my 120 film for processing. The developing tank taken apart, unwinding the film and backing-it was never easy in that tight space. This new large Kalt bag is awesome-very roomy and seems to be made well. I am a few rolls into it, and glad I made the purchase. Packed well, and arrived earlier than expected-thanks B&H-
