RE: Black bags...

["David M. Young" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

More importantly, note that the photoflex bag doesn't even guarantee that
it's *LIGHT* tight, much less infrared tight!   In the field, I just picked
up a "generic" changing bag at the local store and it's served me well.  At
home however, I have a "Shadow Box" from Visual Departures.  It's a bit on
the expensive side, but it's similar to the photoflex in that it has an
internal frame...  the nice thing is that the manufacturer guaranteed to me
that it's infrared tight before I bought it, and promised my money back if
it wasn't. 

Cheers, 
D.
