I have no financial interest in this product, but I wanted to put in a good word for Ted Burford, who made these custom filmholder belt packs.
I had noticed that he was advertising darkcloths and 4x5" and 5x7" belt packs on eBay, so I asked if he was the manufacturer, and if he might be able to make some custom packs for me that would be appropriately sized for Grafmatics and for my 5x7" Graflex plate magazine. I sent him the measurements and made a few special requests, which he took into account. The ones on eBay were lined with flannel, and I thought that would attract dust, so I asked for nylon inside and out. I also asked for a pocket on the outside for small accessories or a notepad.
He sent one batch and I thought the seams on the flap and the opening looked weak and might be improved by adding some binding tape to finish the seams. Ted asked for them back and made new ones with the green binding tape you can see in the pictures and improved the placement of the velcro closures, and had them back to me in short order.
They cost me $30 each plus a nominal shipping charge for Priority Mail. It's good to see someone new out there serving our market, and I'm sure he'd be willing to work on cases for lenses and other kinds of things. His e-mail is tedburford@yahoo.com.
