I just received a Century 8x10 and it's ready to make wet plates with a revised film holder. I would like to be able to shoot film as well. What kind of film holders am I looking for? I'm only familiar with the ones that go into a spring loaded back. Thanks!!

If it has a modified back, all bets might be off. The back might be for the holder you have, only. If it's a standard back, use standard holders. Edit- Or, get a standard back for when you use film with standard holders.
