    I think as you can see most folks have plenty of holders. I would suggest you consider the Facebook LF marketplace which is pretty active, including lots of new users looking for typical new user stuff.

    I looked around and found 39 of them. Didn't know I had that many... Must be a year since I took a photo.

    As you know, i will never use FB again

    Amazon has cornered the book market, and NOT supplying Libraries at any price...

    Zuck has the 'best' smile on the 500 list...

    I smell a film holder KS, smoking something...

    Then your price was too high.

    I have a dozen or so rigid 4x5 and probably 20 Midos, but only 2 8x10. Probably 2 dozen 5x7 that need more use.

    "You can never be too rich, too good looking, or have too many film holders"
    For the exotic, ULF sizes, I have 4-6 per format.
    For 8x10, I have about.... a lot, I don't have a problem. Honestly, 30-40 holders with another 20 older wooden ones on the road to refurbishment (when I have time to finish cleaning them up and make new darkslides).
    5x7 and 4x5 I don't shoot a lot, but probably have 20 or so each.
    3.25" x 4.25" A dozen nice Fidelity ones, some plate holders, and pack film holders for my stash of outdated pack film.

    I have had a couple 8x10 jobs where I've shot 60+ sheets in a day, and if I'm doing a shoot with a model, I seem to shoot around 30 sheets of 8x10.

    How many you have and how many you use/need are different things.

    I have somewhere around 25-30 DDS, maybe more. Don't know really. Another 5 or 6 Grafmatics. Really only need a Grafmatic or two for most days. It is nice to have all of them though.

    It is, but I really like the convenience to not having to empty and reload them after each shoot. I only take 6 when I go out because of weight and size. But having more means you can load them in a single session, have some around in case you need/want more, you can accumulate a few before you start a development session etc. Or you can have different films ready.
