The Paterson Changing Bag is an essential piece of equipment for your darkroom. It is one of the most simple items to use and can potentially save you from losing a roll of jammed film stuck inside a camera.

Having a changing bag means a jammed or partly exposed film roll can be safely removed from the camera, shooting can continue, and your film can be loaded into a developing tank without having to find a darkroom.

It has a fail-safe double skin with a double zip closure. The inner lining is specially designed to prevent perspiration during prolonged use.

The Paterson changing bag is small enough to fit in a camera bag, yet large enough to contain a fully-opened camera back or a roll of film that needs to be loaded into a tank.

Q: 9. How small does the changing bag fold down to? And does support itself open with some type of flex frame or just lay flat?

A: It folds to about 12 x 10 . Then you roll it into an included bag that is about 13 x 4 . This is a flat bag, it is not the famous Harrison tent. I used flat bags like this for years and they are fine even with large 35mm 1000 magazines. However, if you are on a job that is 16mm or 35mm film and you will be doing hundreds of rolls, get the Harrison tent. You will thank yourself.

Q: 10. Will this bag fit a Manfrotto MT190XPR04 tripod with a Manfrotto MVH502AH head?

A: it's pretty tight actually... I have a 501hdv head on it and I am not able to zip it all of the way, due to the shape of the head. It's designed for smaller heads. GREAT stix, love them, and use the 90 degree turn a lot too!
