    Our film holders are of the highest quality with the following features

    Our craftsmen have over 20 years experience in the aerospace industry in
    quality control, inspection, toolmaking, and process engineering
    End user serviceable and replaceable light traps
    Finet quality beryllium copper fingerstock and velvet used in the light traps
    Our dark slides are made from stable, tough, impact resistant black phenolic
    Dark slide handles are riveted in place with custom made large diameter
    tubular brass rivets rather than nails to eliminate teraring the dark slide
    blade
    All of our holders comply to the new 2008 industry standard for size, rib lock
    location, and T dimension

    The price for 7x17 holders is currently $400.00 each. For a limited time, if you buy four at regular price we will give you the fifth for free. This makes the price $320.00 each if you buy five. Shipping is not included in this price. Email for shipping cost.

    We will not accept payment or deposits until your holders are ready to ship. We will ship within two business days of your payment clearing our bank. We will never accept payment for something that is not ready to sell.

    We have a queuing system set up for film holder requests. When we receive your email requesting film holders your request will enter the queue. As film holders become available the oldest request in the queue will be satisified first. When your film holders are ready, we will contact you requesting payment. We will reserve your holders for five business days awaiting a response from you. After five business days, if we do not hear from you, the film holders go to the next person in the queue.

    We will have photos available within the next two weeks.

    Please email requests to: barryjyoung@yahoo.com

    Thank you,

    I wasn't aware of this standard. Would you give the specs, so I can compare to my current AWB holders? Thanks!

    Hello:

    I would be happy to. What format? 7x17?

    Good luck.

    You have to remember the new standard will not fit all cameras. The older banquet cameras require a narrower holder about 1/8 and the rib lock has to be in a different position. The longer flap can also be a problem. But these little problems can dealt with if you have an older camera.

    The main thing did you solve the light leak issue at the flap end? The reason I ask is I have worked with just about all the different holders made and at different times of the year different holders leak light.

    In the Jan/Feb 08 issue of View Camera there is an extensive article about ULF film holders and the problems with them.

    Was this directed towards me? I believe our holder has features that will avoid light leaks due to humidity change throughout the year, yes.

    I didn't realize that there was a question asked of me. It seemed like a rhetorical question to me. I thought it was simply Richard Ritter providing information. I solved that problem two years ago or I would not be selling holders.
