film holder

[e]

I was wondering if anyone knew of a 5x8 or 4x10 split film holder for 8x10 that is currently being made? It seems a good way to get three formats out of 8x10. A nd I've heard of the Deardorf versions...are they decent to work with? Especiall y 5x8? Fidelity? Lisco?Hoffman?Wisner is thinking about making some in 2002 but I dont want to wait! Thanks, Emile.

Emile:

Take a look at Jay Bender's site. He sells a modified slide for a standard 8x10 filmholder which allows you to shoot two 4x10 shots on a single sheet of 8x10 film. The slide lists for about $24.
