Well, the camera is on the way from Rob Skeoch, and I've been getting ready for it. I just aquired some wooden 5x7 film holders for pretty cheap. They are very clean (I was quite impressed actually, not having any reference to compare to), and seem solid. I've never really handles a film holder before, and I never realized that the end is actually a flap that the film slides in to. First of all, what is the purpose of this design? I am a little concerned over light-tightness (I'll be testing them with paper this weekend), as I've been told that the old wooden holders tend to leak. I seem to be able to slightly wiggle that end flap forward and backward a little bit at the corners, but not past the extent of the darkslide. Does anybody see a problem here?
Thanks,
Tim
