    Quickload carrying case

    I was at REI the other day and found a terrific case for a Quickload holder and 20 sheets or so of film. It's an Eagle Creek medium Protech Cube, which is a semi-rigid case with a zipper and a handle. The size looks as if it was made for this application, the holder and film fit perfectly and are well protected. It cost $25.00 and I assume is available from other retailers who carry Eagle Creek products.

    Awesome. I'll have to look that up.

    BTW- a great winter jacket that will hold a Quickload holder is a North Face Optimist Redpoint. The hand pockets will swallow a Quickload holder and you can zip 'em shut.

    Eagle Creek makes some great stuff for filmholders...like the pack sacs. I use the medium ones for my 4x5 film holders as well as Grafmatic holders. The clip on them let's me hang them off my tripod securely.

    Looks like an excellent solution. Thanks for posting, Richard.

    I hope REI doesn't find out the case is being used for photographic purposes, though. If they do, the price might jump to $125.

    REI is a better company than that.

    How would this work for 4x5 holders? Any idea how many it would hold?

    The case does come with a couple adjustable dividers, so film holders would fit without sliding around. It would hold 5-6 depending on how tight you want to pack them.
