Ilford was including 3x4 in their ULF production.
On a related note, I just inherited a bag mag for
a 3x4 Graflex Super D. Assuming film can be had,
does anybody know how these things work?
it wasn't too long ago that there was so many choices, now their are very few.

Maybe John has a solution? John????

I found it by accident - they don't show 3.25x4.25 on their pull-down search menu. Yay!
Poorly. There is a reason Graphics went to Graphmatics. You pull them out, they don't want to go back in.. what a PITB.
The theory is, the leather bag is a dark lightproof bag. You pull the top one out after exposure, you put it at the rear of the stack, the next sheet is ready for exposure.
Bleah!. Want another?

Shoot Dianna or myself a PM if you're actually willing to let go of one, Tim.
We just got our latest bag mag in the mail today -- still has the strap with the snap and everything.

(Hmmm... Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut or just PM'd you privately. Next thing you know, there'll be a run on bag mags and the prices will go through the roof!)
btw -- Jeremy actually got us started on these things. We bought a 3x4 Graflex RB SLR from him (we've bought so much stuff from him, we've taken to occasionally saying we buy from "J-Bay") that came with two bag mags.

Thanks for the link. Ordered 2 Boxes. Have 6 cameras that use 3x4 film and haven't been able to use them in a while. Really appreciate it.

Shoot, if Sanders doesn't want it, we probably do! We're building our collection of bag mags. We've got them in condition all the way from pretty darn close to pristine to those having big gaping holes in the leather. It's low-tech (or pre-high-tech) at it's best, in our opinion! (Dianna and me)
Not quite as fast as a Grafmatic to use, but a good many more sheets to use at one time, and they're one of those things that are just plain fun to use once you get the hang of it.
