I've managed to collect a few plate holders (7x11 and whole plate). For instance, the 7x11 holder in my hands has a reddish-brown septum (phenolic?) with the words "Eastman View Plate Holder" with a 1904 patent date. It has two darkslides like a modern holder for sheet film but also a wood/metal insert that presumably held the plate.
Is there a way to convert these to film? With the upcoming Fotoman holders conversion of the whole plate holders may not be worthwhile, but for the 7x11 holders it probably would be worthwhile expending a fair bit of work.
