I never use a changing bag for all the reasons (and more) already given. I just
collected (bought new or used) enough film holders over the years, and now I load
them all up before I go out, and that works for me. I just could not handle sheet
film in a changing bag, without accumulating dust and--worse--scratches. But maybe
I'm not as careful as most (?) Still, I suggest getting film holders. You can
always find used ones--in good shape and reasonably priced. --Diana
