    Re: Alternatives to Gnass Gear for 4x5 film holders

    Since cold beer is essential to survival in the south, we have a great selection of small 6-pack coolers. I use ones that have a rigid plastic liner and a zip top, with a side strap for shoulder carrying. They hold 25 4x5 holders. The rigid body lets me work out of the cooler for hand held shooting. Just pull out a holder, shoot, then put it in at the other end of the stack, top down.

    Mostly using freezer bags, though the Gnass Gear stuff looks interesting. I think PhotoBackPacker.com is working on some Readyload/Quickload holders. Depending upon how/if those turn out, I might go that direction in the future. Probably always keep using freezer bags too; keeps dust levels minimal when traveling.

    Ciao!

    I found some cheap insulated lunch "coolers" at a Dollar Store for $1 each. They hold 10 4X5 holders perfectly and fit nicely into my Kelty pack. For $1 each they are tough to beat. Jim

    Exactly right! In fact, I picked up 3 of these at the end of the day at a company picnic (for free) and they hold all of my holders. and they are somewhat insulated, to boot, which I think is advantageous here in TX.

    I have a couple pouches I got from Calumet. They came as a set - one black (unexposed, I assume - or maybe B&W) and the other red (exposed or maybe color). I use them for Grafmatics and they hold six, so I would think they would hold a dozen 4X5 holders. They are nylon, have Velcro closures and belt loops on the back.

    I believe Calumet still has them.

    I use these for 4x5 holders in my backpack: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...highlight=vons

    For bulk carrying, I use a 6 pack cooler, as others have mentioned. My "favorites" are arctic zone brand.
