I've just fallen heir to three of these film pack adapters -- do they have any practical use nowadays for a guy operating a Canham DLC?

Thanks

Kodak discontinued their last 4x5 filmpacks in about 1992. They held 16 sheets of film (on thin,120-thickness base). So you didn't have to load/unload/carry standard holders. Very useful for field photogaphers, if more expensive. A little more difficult to process. The only emulsion available by then was Tri-X- which suited me just fine.

There is a reason people try to sell these on Ebay for $2 and people don't buy them. Now a grafmatic, that's another story.
