Gnass Filmholder Case - Some Design Thoughts

[Dave Jeffery]

As compared to this which is bulky and overkill IMHO.

Rain cover/ camera protector with flaps that can open or cover the lens and ground glass?

Bruce,

Can you give me an update on the availability of 5x7 and 8x10 sizes?

Thanks,

Pete

Bruce - glad to see you're increasing your product line. As an initial adopter of your lens cases way-back-when, I've been completely satisfied with that I currently have. You offer a great, robust product!

Regarding the film holders, will grafmatics fit in the pouches?

The samples arrived last Thursday. I was told the main shipment has not yet left China. As I told my vendor, I do not need any outside help to look like a idiot - I can take care of that on my own.

I will be getting a further update and will be pressing for a vendor-paid air shipment but I am not holding my breath.

Thanks for the kind words, Ken. I have been asked about the Grafmatics. I do not think they will fit in the 4x5. The 5x7 would handle them but perhaps too loosely. How many would you carry? Is there an advantage to the cascading pocket style or is that less important with the grafmatics? Is there someone who will send me a grafmatic so I can look at it?

This is an item I would produce locally. I doubt the demand would justify a full production run.

Bruce,

I will take 3 of the 8x10 holders as soon as you get them! Each in a different color of course.

I assume they will be available on your website but I have a trip in November and want to elbow my way through!

This wil be great to see a new product come to fruition. Thanks for seeing this through.

Bruce,

I still use Fuji quickloads and will be for a few years at least since i bought enough film before it was discontinued. I would be great if someone made a pouch that held the older and film sheets.

My Chinese vendor has agreed to ship a small supply of the film holder cases to me by Air. By the end of next week, I will have 25 of the 4x5, 12 of the 5x7 and 20 of the 8x10. I am setting up the BOM and other accounting background items today and hope to have the "RPT Cascade Film Holder Cases" on my web site by This Friday.

I am announcing this exclusively on the Large Format Forum in honor of all the suggestions and encouragement offered by y'all! The surface shipment will probably arrive in Mid to Late October.
