Ok, so I'm tired of using my slightly defective 4x5 film holders. I'm tired of fog and simulated light leaks. Can someone suggest a brand of NEW, EASILY ORDERED 4x5 film holders that aren't going to break the bank but also aren't cheap (in both price and quality). I don't want to buy off of ebay or scour yard sales. I want to go on a commercial website, look for new film holders, order them and receive them in new condition. I don't require "best of the best" but I also want good quality that will function as expected, without issue for years to come if properly cared for. Any advice?

Toyo is the only manufacturer of new 4x5 and 8x10 film holders. These holders are also considered by many to be the best available. You can buy them for $129.95 for a pack of two from B&H. I sell them for 8,400 JPY plus EMS shipping, which will cost 2,700 JPY for one pack, 3,600 JPY for two packs and so on.

Send me a message if you'd like to buy.

EDIT: I didn't know Fidelity was still alive. Does anyone know if these are new or NOS? I ask because Calumet purchased Fidelity some years ago, and Calumet is now out of business, at least in the US. Calumet Germany is still in existence, but says Fidelity holders are Nicht auf Lager - no longer in stock.
