Just picked up a Folmer & Schwing 12x20 camera - now I need film and at least 1 holder.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just a suggestion... some (many? not sure) of the old F&S cameras were modified to fit the "standard" filmholders (that Korona and others used). If you don't have a film holder already, you may want to investigate this a bit to ensure what kind it will fit before you buy a holder.

If you're thinking about shooting with it a decent amount, if it hasn't been modified for the Korona standard, you may want to consider it because the other standard is far more common in the holders available and may make getting holders easier. Also, you can purchase new ones in the Korona standard, but not sure if anyone is making any in the F&S standard.

Lastly, the Korona back design is superior because the ridge is in the holder, not the camera, so the ridge won't be destroyed over time by use as much in the Korona standard. This and availability are the reasons many have been converted. Just a suggestion for considering having it converted if it hasn't been.
