Harrison Jumbo Film Tent Question.

[SAShruby]

Jim, do you have actual experience with this? I've been using a Jumbo Harrison Tent for a few years and have spoken with them the factory a number of times and they informed me that they WOULD NOT add the wings after it has been used/sold.

In regards to the first question.
I've changed a stack of 3 - 12x20 holders in the standard Harrison Jumbo Tent, its tight, but it is most definitely possible.

Thanks Matt.

I only use mine for 7x17. My fried with whom I photograph often has been told by the factory that they would add to his which he has had for about 10 years. He actually talked with owner, not whomever answered the phone.

I just call the manufacturer and orderred one with the sleeves. It's a one time investment, I think it's worthed to spend extra $$$.

Thanks Everyone.

Matt knows.

The extensions are envelop shaped sleeves attached to each end along the bottom seam. I could measure mine tonight, but I'm estimating that they are 15"-18" along the short side of the tent and about the same long going away from the tent. You would need at least 6' of table to set this thing up with the extension sleeves lying flat.

Picture flat rectangular pockets at the bottom edge on each end of the tent.

Good for you! The right thing to do. If you ever tire of it, it will sell in a heartbeat. I bought mine right here last summer. Many folks were upset that they missed it.

Enjoy!

Thanks Wayne,

I guess having tent is more economical in a long run than having lots of film holders for $400 each, adding weight inefficiently to my already overweight package.

Probably right. The Harrison tent allows film handling anywhere anytime. Even a roadside picnic table.

Update.

For future search finding.......

The Harrison Jumbo Changing Tent Extension sleeves/wings, whatever you call them, measure 22" x 22". They are BIG! That makes the total length about 8'.

8"x20" holders should be a piece of cake with the extension sleeves. Finding a place to put it is another problem. Grinning!

Have fun!

Jim, noted, thanks for the clarification. I should call again and try and speak with the actual owner. Was there a price estimate you can share? Anyone in particular that I should ask for?

I love my changing tent but would REALLY like to get this done, as I would greatly appreciate the added space and room to breath.

Side note, changing 8x10 holders in the jumbo tent is so comfy and roomy.

Roll film & 4x5 get lost in there. With the sleeves folded under the body of the tent. I guess I need a bigger camera & film?????????????????
