Are these the original version or the modified version? I don't mean the Model 1 vs the larger, thicker Model 2. Do you have the instruction sheet? That will tell you.

There were, to my knowledge, three versions of the Mido film holders...the first version held one piece of sheet film, and the second version was double-sided to hold two films. So an important question to your request is "WHICH version do you have?" The Mido is somewhat finicky to use.
there are THREE VERSIONS!
  1. I have tried loading one type in the dark...forget it, even in the light! The salesman in the pro store couldn't either!
  2. Another version was easier to load in the dark, but required greater handling of the film (not desireable).
  3. The most recent version (in1999) is more like a conventional holder, but I have no experience with it at all, so no opinion.

They are meant to hold 2 sheets one on each side. Same ones I have always used. I never had any trouble loading them. I have had This version as well as the Mido II in 4x5 and 8x10. Never had any that only held one sheet.

There are TWO versions of the THIN film holder that holds TWO sheets. The difference is that they are easier to load that the original TWO sheet holders. I'll see if I can find my instruction sheet to help clarify what you have.

Are you wanting them?

It depends on what they are -- hence my original question.

Those appear to the the original version of the double-sided MIDO holders. Here's the second version of the double-sided model with the instruction sheet. Some people prefer the original, some the modified model -- others say "pick your poison".
