I couldn't use my old 4x5 cameras without it.
Very handy and well thought-out film tent. 17x17x20 inches. It makes handling 4x5 inch sheet film easy, and should be just the same for 5x7. I have used it successfully out in the field, but doing so in humid summer conditions may risk sweat on your film, so keep the time inside the tent short if you do. I generally keep it at home, where I can handle sheet film and still watch the stove and the weather forecast, etc. at the same time.

Well thought out and constructed product
High-quality very well-built ! Plenty of room for you to transfer your film! 35mm,120mm of course 4x5 no problem! I do have to work at getting the sleeves up to my elbows just because it’s so wide which is not a knock I do love the room I do love the quality this is probably the best change bag I’ve ever had and this is my third bag! I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a smaller changing bag this is just a portable!

It’s big enough
I got this for 4x5 loading, good size for loading film into day tanks. Easy to open up and take down stores flat

Tall Tank
Good for tall tanks, or short. Works as advertised, practice first especially 120 film...

Works great for large format, and it's suitable for leading multiple film holders at once. Only complaint is that the bottom doesn't lay flat on a counter/table, which makes it difficult for a Paterson tank to sit upright without falling over.

Just the right size
This makes loading 4x5 film holders and tanks so much easier. And, because it doesn’t fall down and contact the film, I’m getting fewer dust spots on my negatives. Quite pleased.

A lot easier to use than a changing bag.
This changing tent is a lot more spacious than the changing bag it replaced, which makes it much easier for me to work with.

One of the best photo investments I made
I bought this changing tent for a photo road trip a few years ago, and it proved it's worth time and again.
I was shooting primarily 4x5, which necessitated constant unloading and reloading of the film holders while out on location. This is a very delicate process because of the danger of scratching the film. The changing tent allowed me to move freely without the fumbling involved in a normal dark bag. It was also large enough that I was able to comfortably load and unload 20 to 25 film holders at once. It also folded up neatly (about the size of a large collapsible reflector) and was easily stored in a crowded car.
As I moved around for the next couple of years, it allowed me to have a secure (light-tight) loading area when living in homes where it wasn't possible to make a light-tight space. Students, and photographers who do a lot of travel, will benefit the most from it.
A few cons of the changing tent are:
It is a little confusing to fold down the first couple of times.
It is a tight fit to put back in it's bag once folded.
The arm holes have a sweatshirt-like material at the opening that makes your arms sweaty and somewhat uncomfortable when working in it for long periods (20+ minutes).
It is a bit wide, and may be a little uncomfortable for people with shorter arms to use.

Changing Room
It's very useful for making a dark space for putting film on to a speed reel and into a developing tank. It's not portable at all, but that's not why I bought it.
