The GB film holder has a 10 cm notch, much longer than normal. When the dark slide is out the film is slid into this larger notch on each side. Once the film is in the holder it is buckled a slight bit at the end. The end of the film then slides in place and is held by the frame work. There is a small notch in the end of the frame work for your finger nail to lift the exposed film out. It is much easier to do than to describe. I have used these two film holders for about six months now and am very pleased.
