Like New 4x5 Fidelity Elite Film Holders For $17 Each

Since Calumet went bust and Fidelity Manufacturing went with it, the supply of brand new 4x5 Elite film holders has dwindled to a few retailers who purchased going-out-of-business chunks of the final production runs.

I realize that many here prefer to buy used equipment whenever possible. But for those who may wish to still buy new, KEH has a supply of 83 remaining of these holders in LN condition at this moment. They are asking only $17 each.

It was 103 remaining, but I purchased 20 to add to my existing 10 for my own lifetime supply. Those 20 just arrived a few minutes ago via FedEx and, after inspection by me, they are indeed brand new never used holders. No boxes are included, but the locking pins are brand new tight and there are no smudges or marks whatsoever. They are unmarked, tight and pristine.

So if anyone is looking for new 4x5 holders at what is not far from the price of decent used ones, this might be your chance. I have not seen these holders offered at or near this price from any other remaining source.

Just thought someone out there might want to know...

That's a great price from a trusted Seller!

Saturday bump for those who don't read APUG during the week...

Well spotted! I'm on the other side of the pond else I'd go for half a dozen. Economy-shipping to NL seems to be just over $100 !!

Hi Martin, if you really are interested just send me a PM with a valid shipping address. I'd be more than happy to buy them for you and ship them to you myself. You could then reimburse me via Paypal.

I've had the experience of shipping several BPX (Blind Print Exchange) submissions to the Netherlands in the past. These were all oversized boxes (I mount and matte my stuff) and as I recall none was over about US$25.00, or so. Six holders would be only a fraction of those sizes. So I don't know what's going on with that US$100.00 charge.

This is such a good deal I'd hate to see you miss out if you really want them. I notice that they are now down to 63 holders remaining, so 40 have already sold...



[Edit: I just checked and shipping for 20 holders from KEH to my house was only US$10.95.]

Just bought my large format camera two days ago and saw this - bought two new holders thanks!

Thanks for the tip, Ken.

And a final Sunday bump to catch those who don't read on Saturdays...

Ah... if shipping wasnt such a bummer!
