    Shen Hao 5x7 film holder issue

    Bonjour
    I recently ordered two new Shen Haod 5x7 wooden film holder.
    Fine work, looks well made with nice wood for the frame and black plastic dark slide.
    It's a good new to have new 5x7 film holder on the market.
    But in spite of this nice aspect you have to be carefull with it and recommended to make a test before enjoying.
    One of my two holder refused the sheet film on one side, it was impossible to close the flap end because the film was not entirely introduced . Turning on the darkroom light I made several try without success. Almost at the rail end the film is stopped. May be some dry glue or wood shaving inside the rail. I tried to remove it with a cutter without success.
    I hope this is an uncommon default.

    Jean-Claude:

    I have 12 of them. I had a similar problem with one. So I would say it is an uncommon but not rare problem. I bought mine from Badger Graphic, so Jeff is replacing the defective one for me. Otherwise, I've shot a LOT of film through them now, and been very happy with the performance.
