    Keep watching eBay. I've gotten a bunch of old wooden ones for about $6/each shipped. Just have to be patient...

    I was offered a bunch by a member on here (wooden holders), I can't remember the price, either $5 or £5 I can't remember.

    When thinking about selling the half-plate (which the 5x7 holders fit into) I was recommended to keep the holders no matter what, I was unaware of their rarity at the time - I'm glad I've got them 'in case'

    Badger has new ones.

    Mpex might have some used ones.

    KEH every so often has some.

    I've got a stack of 5x7 holders (a couple of plastic, mostly retaped wooden) that are just sitting on the bookshelf.

    When getting into a new format it's best to preemptively buy the accessories you need when you spot bargains on ebay Just takes patience, which of course you won't have if you've already got your camera sitting so temptingly on the shelf.

    They stopped making all holders. Which is why I picked up a few new 8x10s a couple of months back. Wish I'd done that with the 5x7s.

    If you want new the choice right now is Shen Hao. Or wait for the fotoman ones.
