Paul - First point, 5x4 inch folders and 18x13 cm have the same external dimensions; but one doesn't take the other's film. So you need to be careful there.
Fidelity are a good make. That is just an initial response. Others with more points will chip in there. |

Toyo, Fidelity,, Kodak are all OK, check the slides for cracks, overall condition is a good indicator. Ian |

oops, sorry. That was the 7x5 user in me being crass. Paul still needs to be careful not to acquire 12x9 cm holders, though, if he wants to use 5x4 inch film.

I have Toyo and Fidelity DD holders both are very good but Toyo holders will not take Rollie IR400 or Rollie RPX400 (they are the only ones I've tried) but they do take all Ilford film. Fidelity take all films. Richard |
