View Full Version : 8x10 film holder conversion to wet plate
I know that you can convert a modern 8x10 holder (4x5 too i guess) to work with wet plates but I am a bit foggy on exactly how to do it. I am looking for some photos of the conversion and/or someone who has already done it and can give me some instructions.
Thanks.

I was considering this with the old wooden holders that often have a metal film holder insert in them, but I don't know if it can be done with the plastic ones.
