    A better than average sheet film holder transport solution

    G'Day all,

    A few years back I asked my helpful mother-in-law to sew up a number of bags with some velcro sewn on to be my protective transportation of sheet film holders. They worked OK but had a bit of lint.

    Now I've bought some neoprene notebook / tablet pouches ... these are excellent !

    The bay # 221244927024 for 5x7 and # 230854689623 for 4x5.

    These are probably shower proof and will do a good job at keeping dust at bay while not having lint and offer some bump protection too !!

    I get 3 holders in each bag if I need.

    Cheers !

    I use a neoprene laptop/tablet sleeve for my 8x10 holders. I still antistatic bag them, but it's good protection as 8x10 holders are expensive to be bumping or dropping.

    I found these black or red neoprene tablet sleeves for tablets up to 8" for US $3.08 including shipping.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Soft-N...item2c786867bf

    But, the problem is I don't have a tablet yet the auction lists a dozen or so units from which to select. I have no idea which would be the smallest yet still accommodate several 4x5 sheet film holders.

    Any advice?

    Thanks.

    I'm disappointed there is no competitively priced Hello Kitty version.

    I've bought three of these now. They are superbly made. It is so good to be organised in the field. I used to work in semi-chaos. Not anymore, these cascade holders are so easy to use and being well organised becomes easy too...

    I use these for 2x3, 4x5 and 5x7, they hold three 5x7 easily. Not neoprene, but in baggies, holders are organized and clean.

    Cheap, also Husky has several totes that work well with various cameras.

    Hello again all,

    I have purchased a good many products from PhotoBackpacker and am pleased with every single one of them. I have no doubt as to the usefulness of the item in the youtube video. My suggestion is cheaper than the photobackpacker solution but with less utility. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Cheers,

    I'll second the F.64 cases for 4x5 holders, they're perfect. I'm currently using the Photobackpacker/RPT Cascades for 8x10, as I've found nothing better for 8x10 as yet. (Still looking though, maybe someday someone will best the Cascades, but haven't seen it yet.)

    I use 5X7 photo paper bags. the plastic light proof ones you find inside of the print paper boxes.I attack the Velcro strip to keep it closed. Holds about 5 4X5 holders.
