An old trick used by press photographers is to use an
overcoat or thick jacket that will be light tight. Put the
holders an film in it, fold the front over and stick you
arms in the sleevs to get to it. It makes a crude but
servicable changing bag.

Isn't that asking for lots of dust?

Dust didn't show up all that much in newspaper photos of the day. And
most of those old long overcoats would have had a full length "silk"
lining anyway.

Getting the shot was a much higher priority. Couldn't go back to the
editor and tell him you missed photographing an important event because
you didn't have any film holders loaded.

Instead of a press photographer, you'd be a used car salesman.
