I've had just the opposite experience with the Harrison Change Tent.
Medium size.  I use it for all processing and changing in the field with
4x5 or HIE and  have had no problems. I also use it in my darkroom with the
lights on. Makes loading easier and more enjoyable not to stand in pitch
blackness.  Never had a problem with HIE and I use it all the time.
