Re: Harrison Change Tent

[David Riecks <riecks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Elton:

If you bought the tent from Calumet (and it says CALUMET on the tent), then
it is most likely made by PHOTOFLEX, not Harrison. I was the one who started
the thread and ended up buying a Harrison and Harrison changing bag
(medium..though it's something like 36 x 17 inches)from Camera Essentials.
Someone else had posted similar results tor yours and it was the
Calumet/Photoflex tent.

I just returned from a week in arizona, and unloaded a few rolls in full
sunlight in the Harrison and Harrison bag. A few other rolls were loaded
indoors in a darkened room. As soon as I get them processed I'll report the
results.
