[LargeFormat] 8x10 Darkslides

[LNPhoto]

BTW the only American company that makes production film holders makes 
all of the brands, Fidelity, Elite, Riteway, etc., and the company is 
owned by Calumet.  Can't remember the name off had.  I talked to them 
about a year ago and they were still making 5000 4x5 film holders a 
month

I thought that was a lot too.

but then he said it's down from the 12,000 a month 5 years back.

sounds fantastic to me.
