    Ruby ★★★★★

    Finally got around to loading film in the car trunk on a sunny day and had zero light leaks. The large size gives you plenty of room to maneuver the reel and spool without fighting the fabric. Even after a few uses, it folds back up flat enough to stash in my camera bag.

    Benjamin H. ★★★★★

    The zipper glides smoothly and the interior is plenty roomy for a 35mm tank and reels, so loading film on the go finally doesn't feel like wrestling in the dark. I've used it a few times now and I'm genuinely impressed with how light-tight it is, even with my clumsy fumbling inside.

    First time using a changing bag and this thing is roomy enough to actually work in without fighting the film. The interior is dark as it should be and the fabric feels sturdy, not flimsy like I worried it might be. Loaded two rolls of 120 on a dusty picnic table, no light leaks, no scratches.
