If you dont "light" the background, it will photograph gray. So, I would go with white

The Lasolite one I use is white/grey. Really like it.

Get bigger than you think you will need.

That's exactly what I'm thinking of getting based on online reviews / price point. I think 6x7' is the largest collapsible from Lastolite.

Lastolite LL LB67GW Collapsible Background - 6 x 7' (White/Mid Gray)

So, how easy is it to fold, considering it's size?

Do you also know approx how small it folds down to?

Lastly, the product info doesn't say if it comes with a carrying bag...does it?
