Shout out to Tim Soderstrom, bitbybitphoto.com

A big shoutout to Tim Soderstrom of bitbybitphoto.com. I wanted to buy a 5x7 easel with a square image. There is one listed on the website, but that one has the image hole located in the center of the easel. I like to display my square images vertically, with the image raised up a little, higher than center. I asked Tim if he could do that. He said he would work on a design. Next day, he showed me an image of what he came up with. Yes, exactly what I wanted! He made it, and sold it at the same price as the standard easels on the web site! Custom work, no extra charge! So I made a purchase of an 8x10 easel with similar modification.

That’s really nice, I am using both easels. Thanks Tim!

I'll second this recommendation. BitByBit has a wide variety of negative carriers for various enlargers, but several smaller film formats were never made by the enlarger companies -- or are impossible to find at any price!

I put in a request for 17x24mm (half-frame 35mm), 13x17mm (110), 13x17mm (Kiev), 12x17mm (Minolta Super), 10x14 (16mm), 14x14mm (Hit), and 8x11mm (Minox) carriers for a Beseler 67 and Beseler Slide Copier. He popped these out in record time -- with no extra charge.

So if you are looking for negative carriers for smaller (or unusual) formats, look no further than BitByBit.

I'll third this recommendation. Tim custom made a 4x5 dry plate holder for my Bessler 45 enlarger and charged me a very fair price. Very pleased with his work and professionalism.
