I just got a 4x5 camera but I don't have any film holders, so I'm starting to keep an eye out online for mostly used film holders. Is there a difference in brand or is a film holder pretty much a film holder?

When I was 16 I thought my father the stupidest man in the world; when I reached 21, I was astounded by how much he had learned in just 5 years!

In my experience, Toyo is the best brand. They hold the tolerances better than any other brand I have used.
I have TONS of 4x5 holders I can sell... various makes/models/vintage. Frankly, as long as you buy good ones it really doesn't matter much, IMHO, other than how much you pay.
PM if interested. Of course, APUG gets its share.
Me too. Well, maybe not tons, but about a dozen.
I haven't counted but I'll bet I have well over a hundred scattered in storage. I'll sell for well under market value just to get some out of my way. The more you buy the cheaper they get.
Do avoid the tiltalls like the plague.
Why don't more people opt for wooden holders? They don't suffer from dust attracting static electricity and they weigh far less.
