I have both a Paterson and one of the pop up changing bags.

I have had and used the Paterson for years and years, but I always found it a very warm and sticky hand venture, each time I had to use it, even when I tried out both latex and cotton gloves.

The pop up ones are excellent though. Because of lots of extras space, it stays cool within and it's just a much more pleasant experience. There are no problems now, of the occasional fingerprint appearing on film or paper.

If you can afford it or find one on ebay (very rare though!) you will not be disappointed. They are well worth the extra money.

I may be the only one, but I find the tent type changing bag, like the one pictured by Mike, quite uncomfortable to use. It’s because the arm holes are half way up the side. It would be better, in my opinion, if they were down at the bottom. It is usable, however, but not as comfortable as the Paterson bag. I think the bigger tents, by Harrison have sleeves at the base level.

I've never actually thought about that Alex, so I'm presuming that it doesn't bother me enough to worry about. But I can see your point.
