Re: [pinhole-discussion] changing bags
There goes my cent to the thread. I use changing bags. I use a lot of film holders too. As much as I can I avoid changing films in sweating conditions. As much as I can I try to change films indoors (be it in a house, a car or a tent), specially at the night before, so that it wont be necessary to change films during the day. Afterwards, keeping well the changing bag is a good idea. In regards to the exceptions, well, they are exceptions. In the other hand, fortunately, on the humid enviroment I use to work, there's not many problems with statics. In dry places, discharging statics from bag, film holders and body before puting them together to work should help.

It's not nearly as hard as it seems. You actually need less space in the changing bag for roll film than you would for 4x5 (where you need space for the film box AND the film holder AND space to withdraw the dark slide...).

Re: [pinhole-discussion] changing bags
I've used a changing bag for years. Haven't noticed any problems -though I contact print mostly. I used to take my 4x5 on camping trips. Load and reload film in the bag on a picnic table etc. I didn't want to limit the shots I took on a trip to the number of darkslides I have. Can't imagine doing handling roll film in a bag.

tricks...@aol.com writes: > I was wondering . Does anybody on this list NOT use a changing bag? My experience is the same as Tom's... DUST, despite shaking and cleaning and vacuuming. Using a changing bag on a project turned out to be the dumbest thing I did this year. Although I suppose I will need to use it again sometime in the field, I try to load my backs in a closet or darkroom in advance now, and I'd rather carry a couple more backs than subject my projects to that level of dust again. --Eric

RE: [pinhole-discussion] changing bags
No, it's the result of the awful stinky plastic odor trapped inside a well-sealed changing bag. |-Original Message- | |> I'm happy enough with my changing bag, |> but my hands stink everytime I use it. | |Maybe the stink comes from the spray Andy is suggesting me to use! |which brand you use? so I avoid it. :-)) | |Guillermo | |

RE: [pinhole-discussion] changing bags
I'm happy enough with my changing bag, but I only use it for location work. It's roomy enough to load 5x7 holders with two 100-sheet film boxes inside, and it's not staticky, but my hands stink everytime I use it.
Re: [pinhole-discussion] changing bags
Beware of dust that gets into the bag and onto sheet film and never seems to leave the bag despite using a vacuum cleaner on its insides. I have a changing bag and do whatever I can to NOT use it for loading sheet film. - Original Message - From: "R Duarte" To: Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 7:51 PM Subject: [pinhole-discussion] changing bags > anyone have any tips or things i should know before buying a changing bag? > i'll probably use it to load filmbacks, a big old 8x10 foamcore camera, 120 > rolls onto reels, etc. thanks for any help... > > rob > > > ___ > Pinhole-Discussion mailing list > Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? > unsubscribe or change your account at > http://www.???/discussion/

Guillermo Have you tried spraying the outside of the bag with some of the spray they sell to women for reducing "static cling" in dresses? andy -Original Message- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???

I own one, use it but hate it. Mine, generates static electricity, hence the fabric tends to stick to whatever you have inside, my hands inclusive. I load 35mm film into reels and 4x5 into holders without much problem, but working with 120 is difficult IMO. I got mine free when I bought a press camera at eBay, but if I had to buy one I'd probably get a tent instead of a bag.
