Okay, I'm stuck. Loading Film...

Have you ever tried one of the old Linhof Universal holders? When you pull the darkslide out, the bottom flap flips up - spring loaded. To unload the film you pull a lever which pushes it out so you get an easy grip.

I have a few of these in "metric" sizes - 9x12 and 13x18. I know they were made in 4x5" as well, but they seem to be rare. I'll trade you a few 9x12's if you'd like, so you can try them out.

Thanks for the offer, John B, but I will do better by hacking away at another version. It ain't vanity, it's just tenacity. Besides, I need to get back to the saw, get over the bad experience.

Hehehe - roger that! I know exactly how you feel !

cheers eh?
