[LargeFormat] Film Holders

[Stuart Phillips]

I use 4x5. I mostly process myself but have used a local pro-lab. They have
an unloading fee of $1.25 per holder if you don't want to bother with boxes.
For 4x5, their turnaround is 3 hrs so there is no question of losing the
holder.

Even in comparison to Medium Format on a tripod, I find the view camera
makes me think hard about an image. First do I want to take it? I suppose
each image takes me about 20 minutes which suits me fine. The final result
of a "session" might be 4-6 images maximum, which is as many as I want to
deal with. I still take 35mm for snaps and don't know what to do with all
those tiny negatives!
