I just got back from the CBD, went to Camera Exchange to check out a used D1x, and made a new acquisition to the tools...

Picked up an 80x80x80cm Light Tent. Its great, has three colors for felt seamless backdrops. I can wait to pop the bowens flash through it!

Wondering, if anyone has any tips on how to fold the thing up? I can fold up a 105cm reflector with ease, but the light tent is like folding up 4 reflectors in one move.

Love to hear tips/pointers, or refer me to a site with help.

Cheers, and Regards,
Oz

If it's like mine, you need to fold the sides in on one another, and then twist and fold.

Ah, that was easier.

Thanks Gary, I just closed it like 3 leaf brochure, one side into the other. THen it was like a stack of reflectors.

Then just twisted as per normal reflectors, did the hokey pokey, and turn around... and then it seems to fit back into the black circle bag it came in!

thanks all
