And now we are all going to be bid war-ing against each other...fellow LF friend, sorry I beat ya!...doesn't seem too nice to me, but thanks for the post. It's one heck of a kit no doubt.Originally Posted by davidbram
Looks to be all Wisner stuff. Only people bidding will be those using Wisners. Maybe the Mido holders will fit the more common Canham standard?
What really caught my eye was the pair of Shimano lady cycling shoes!
I saw this stuff too...thx for posting!

My first thought was "cool" since I own a Wisner. Then I started thinking that it's probably difficult to get 4x10 film (and dusty to cut 8x10). I'd have limited holders, and that I could stitch together a couple 4x5 images and do something similar. (I've switched to inkjet printing.) So maybe not....

If you're interested in this 4x10 stuff, you might find Kerry's article interesting:

I don't think 4x10 film is as hard to get as people might believe. I've sold six boxes of it so far this month to three different clients. I only sell Ilford but there are other options as well that other's might import.
It's such a great shape and the cameras seem nice to use.

No worse then an 8x10 if you're using a reducing back
No, the 4x10 Mido holders were made specifically to fit the Wisner. In fact, when I owned my 4x10 Wisner back in the mid-1990s, they were the ONLY available option in 4x10 holders to fit the Wisner (and the main reason I sold my Wisner). They are based on the old 4x10 x-ray holder standard, which is basically a long 4x5 holder (same t-distance, width, thickness as a standard 4x5 holder, just longer). No other 4x10 camera that I know of uses this type of holder.
The 4x10 cameras on the market use holders that are basically skinny 8x10 holders (same t-distance, thickness, rib lock location as standard 8x10 holders, just not as wide). This is due to the fact that these holders are generally made from parts from 8x10 holders that are cut down and glued together.
So, no, the holders this seller has up for auction won't work with a Canham (or any other non-Wisner 4x10 camera).

Kerry do you know who makes the made in Hong Kong 4x10s? I got some from Shen and they're okay I guess. I am hoping the Shen Hao 5x7 holders will be a bit higher quality .
