Re: IR proof changing bag

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

Karin,
I've heard unkind things about the Calumet... but I think it's all hearsay 
as it's of similar material to the Photoflex tent that is known to not be 
light tight, much less IR tight.

I can heartily recommend the "Shadow Box" from Visual Departures.  I called 
them before purchasing it, and they had tested it for IR film during the 
design process, and promised my money back if it leaked... no questions 
asked.  It's a tent-style bag, and I use it for everything from putting my 
70mm HIE into cartridges to loading it into the Jobo reels/tank, and they 
have 3 different sizes:
         22x22 inch working space @ 15 inches high
         30x30 @ 20 inches high
         30x40 @ 21 inches high for working with motion picture magazines.
I've got the small one, and love it for most everything I do at home, and 
have packed it along on vacations for use in the hotel room (I use a 
generic for loading the camera in the field)   Give 'em a ring at 800-628-2003

Cheers,
D.
