Are you kidding me? Really, a little steep for my tastes...

Really don't surprise me at all!

You got to pay to play now a days!

I think they are about $300.00 each (?) new

Aren't they beautiful.

I'd be intimidated trying to make images as beautiful as these holders. Grin.

Guess that's why I drive a Toyota Corolla, and others drive a Lexus.

Do they make pictures closer to those of Walker Evans or Elliot Porter than my Fidelities and Liscos? If so, back off baby, here I come. Everybody knows prettier hardware makes you a better photographer.

(Here come the slams about film flatness and other issues I too naive to notice.)

Images made with wooden holders tend to have a warmer feeling than images made with plastic holders.

They are gorgeous, I wonder if Sinar can make me a wooden Zoom roll film holder?

Maybe this guy can set you up, Brian--

There was also an Italian maker of rollfilm cameras with fancy hardwoods, inlays, and such. I don't know if he's still around.

Don't get me wrong, beautiful craftsmanship is beautiful craftsmanship but I would much rather spend my limited funds on lenses, film and bail money.

David, a pretty dorky camera is still a dorky camera. I'm not sure what a pretty dorky camera going for a grand is.....

It's not like some body is rolling out new Fidelty holders right now at bargain prices. How much is Fotoman charging for their 8x10 holders?

Of course this summer I bought some new Fidelities from B&H but how long can their stock last?
