Was browsing the net when I saw this. Good deal for those who are planning for expansion but might need some hard work on taping the bellow and getting used to the broken nut.

My pleasure
Everything is all right, as long as 菜鸟 is innocent from all this BBB virus spreading as well as sending links asking people to see cameras and buy.

菜鸟 very newbie and poor cannot use too expensive and too many type of 4*5 films.:cry: Mostly shanghai 100 & FP4 for B&W, E100VS for slides, Ektar 100 for color negative if needed. Anything good that comes by like Astia 100F, Velvia 50, Tmax 100, Tmax 400 (not particularly like fast film), etc etc is a bonus.
Frankly speaking 菜鸟 uses any 2 sided film holder that he tested with no light leak. Brand doesn't really matters as long as the second hand cost is cheap.
There are single, 2 sided film holders. There are also film holders that can hold more than 2 films using a shuffling drawer system. There are also quick load type film holders that sadly there is no more quick load film packets.
Recently saw someone sold a Grafmatic 1268 sheet film holder for 75USD. If not wrong, Patrick (Sweat100) uses one of such holder, but something screwed up when went shooting with him and he ended with one of the image double exposed. So user, please beware and be alert!

Basket, the poison is spreading out fast like swine flu.
I am still holding ground on Fuji690.
Give up resisting, you have been caught since the day you started stocking up LF lens. You are like the girl in the center with fruitless struggle to cling on to your Fuji690.
Vege bird can gurantee that.

Sheet film holders are pretty much the same. I tried Riteway and Toyo ones. Don't seem to have any difference. What you might want to look out for are the two hooks at the top of the film holder that prevents the dark slide from being drawn out. It is just a safety mechanism to prevent loose dark slides from slipping out. I remember seeing film holders some on CS not long ago at $10/pcs.
If you have the chance and want to same some space and weight, you can go for the above mentioned Grafmatic sheet film holder. What happened to mine was that it did not have 6 septums complete when I got it. Thus the film counter did not advance automatically and I forgot to manually advance the counter. In the end I thought I still have one frame left in the holder which was not the case and it ended up double exposing. When you buy that film holder, make sure the 6 septums are intact and they are bent or crooked. It is quite difficult to find the septums separately when you need it.
Since you are shooting MF, you might consider getting a 120 roll film back. Many available on eBay. Spoilt for choice.
Kodak Tmax
Toyo and the chamonix wooden holders for me....
Normally are double sided- i.e. one holder 2 sheets of film...
couldn't resist the large format temptation.

Want to try some extreme macro? all you need is the spare front, an extension rail & a bellows.
