    Sounds interesting alright-
    especially if they were no more difficult to load than normal holders-

    And re-usable too-

    Sounds like a good idea. I doubt they'll collect more dust than my ordinary film holders do anyway, and be a lot lighter to carry. I suspect that light leaks will be the one production problem that keeps you awake at night, but I'm also sure that you'll eventually end up with a great product. And we can put any film we want in there, too! I like it!

    Joanna - you get my vote for this years Pulitzer Prize (FWIW) if you can pull this off. Now, how 'bout this in 8x10, eh? That would be a big-time score!

    It doesn't take much effort or care to keep film clean to my standards when reloading the Quickchange cartridges in a changing bag. I don't see why it would be any more difficult in an envelope system, unless you make the envelopes out of compacted tumble dryer fluff.

    Of course, my standards are not necessarily your standards, but I do know a smidgen about how to keep things clean. Really clean.

    If you do want to commercialise the loading, it is surprisingly easy to rent time in cleanrooms these days. Many university facilities will do contract hire on a per-hour basis, and some high tech incubators include rentable cleanrooms too. There are also contract packagers who work to a suitable standard of cleanliness (there's one just in the Wirral if you want to investigate pricing: www.chestermedical.com).

    The biggest problem is lint from opening the packaging the film comes in.

    I already thought about this but the idea of about an 8" x 14" envelope flapping around in the breeze whilst trying to expose the film...

    Now if only a similar system could be made for the larger formats. Imagine carrying only one film holder device but with as much film as one desires for your 8x10 camera. One might even lose sight of the car. Sigh.

    Great news Joanna; the best of luck with this venture.

    I have been long awaiting such a product, that would allow me to load what I want.
