Is there a 5x7 changing bag ?

[John Kasaian]

Any brands out there that will accomodate 5x7 film holders? Most will permit the use of 4x5 but I've never tried to load a 5x7 in one because I've never needed to.

I need something durable, easy to use and inexpensive as this will be for student use.

There are three sizes of the Harrison Changing Tents, all of which will work with 5x7. The largest one is actually desinged for changing magazines for large motion picture cameras.

Photoflex also makes a Changing Room tent that will handle 5x7, but with a bit less space.

I've used both for 4x5 with lots of room to spare.

The really nice thng is that both are tents, not bags. That means you aren't fighting the cloth that wants to cling to your hands while you try to work.

I use the medium size Harrison tent for 8x10 holders, it's a little tight, but it works. It's plenty of space for 4x5, and I would imagine 5x7 as well.

I do 4x5", 5x7" and if absolutely necessary 8x10" too in a regular-sized changing bag. I think it's Mamiya. 8x10" is really marginal, but not really difficult. 5x7" is no problem at all.

The pup tent sized Harrison tent is fine for 5x7. I have changed up to 8 holders at once in one.

I have been using Photoflex changing room for 4x5 and 5x7. Could not be used for 4x10 though.

Have been thinking about buying this mid size Harrison for 8x10 Would you recomend the Jumbo instead?
Thanks.

Jan,

I currently use the medium for 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10. I would like to have the larger for the extra space for 8x10, but it isn't really necessary. Keep in mind that the tents have a pretty large footprint, so consider where you will need to use them for changing film. You don't have to have an absolutely flat surface, but you will need a certain amount of uninterrupted space.

Thanks Tim, the mid size is a bit less expensive so i may have a go with that.

I use the Harrison medium tent for 8x10 and find it quite large enough. As was noted, it has a pretty large footprint.
