Re: The Death of Film(holders)
I did not save the reference source but I believe Fidelity was acquired over a year ago by Calumet. I've heard that production stopped on 11x14, 5x7, and full-plate holders but I can't confirm that. There have been several discussions on the Large-Format Photography Forum about these recent industry changes and attempts to find new sources for film holders (Toyo, etc.). Here's the URL that will get you started: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/index.php and one on the availability of holders in particular: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?t=21843 You might try calling Calumet.

Can someone on this list confirm or refute this rumor?
