I'm looking at this one too; the seller does have 100% positive feedback, but have to look at comments left.

I'd buy it if the shipping wasn't so bloody expensive.
True, after shipping it's still significantly less than the Harrison, but I'd pay that kind of shipping on an oversized Pelican case, not a small nylon tent.

If you buy one, be sure to put a piece of half covered film in it and leave it in the kind of light in which it will be used for 30-60 minutes. Then develop the film . It is amazing how light will penetrate some "lightproof" fabrics. I tried two other changing tents before I settled down and bought my big Harrison. One of the better known ones even came with a warning that it should only be used indoors in dim light! Obviously it went back immediately.
