Hey all,

Thought I'd share this thing I came up with because it seems to be working pretty good.

Pretty self explanatory. Largeish cardboard box lined with "Husky" brand contractor clean up garbage bags. Tested the combination of cardboard and the garbage bag with a 5D and a 580 flash on full power. Camera was set at 3200, lens held hard against the bag, flash held hard against the cardboard. No difference on the LCD with the flash or without. So I think it's decent.

I was fairly careful to cover all the joints with an extra layer of bag. Copious amounts of gaffer's tape in the corners. I cut an old changing bag in half. The outer layer of the bag gets taped to the outside of the box. The inside layer gets taped to the inside of the box.

Only used it once but so far so good. It was relatively easy to load my Unicolor drum, which was just miserable in the changing bag.

Can't fit it in a backpack but you can't beat the price. Had the changing bag and the tape, bought the box for $4.

You all with huge darkrooms, don't be jealous, you can make your own.
