Where to put film holders

FYI, I purchased one of the 4x10 cases made by MC-Gear. After seeing it, I decided to have my own cases made.

I let my 4x5 holders ride up front. Surely there must be something similar available for 8x10, with lugs for a safety-belt of course?

Best,

Richard

Epson projector cases, like the ones in the picture below:

I got 3 of them from Ebay for $10 each SHIPPED, but they work extremely well, I just had some 6" long flaps of heavy cloth(lightproof) sewn into the ends to cover the holders from the little gap of light.

I can fit 6 8x10 holders comfortably in one of them. They work great!

Just started using re-usable grocery bags to carry an 8x10 holder or two...or three. that's for lugging with camera from car to setup spot.

Holders usually live in $12.63 from Wally World cooler bags, holding ten or eleven (but not 12). I took a holder on a date to find the right size. Repeated for 5x7 and 4x5 holders, so I have "custom" sizes for each. An additional one holds the plastic Tupperware things I bought for lenses on Sinar boards. One bag holds the three I need to carry.

I try to keep them clean, and don't seem to have troubles with dust.

Hi Michael - would you mind letting me know where you got these bags made? I've been searching for someone to custom make me a bag for a while now - the pictures of your film holder bags look good....

Thanks
