How to load 4X5 Large format sheet film holders
In this video we show how to load film in large format sheet film holders (4X5). Here are some more notes:
Clean your holders before loading
Use tape or a rubber band to make sure slides do not pull out in your bag by accident
If you can, prepare all the things you need to load before turning the light off, the more space you have the easier it will be to load
On modern holders there is a little cut out hole at the bottom of the holder. This hole is offset to one side, which is the side where the notches should be when the film is loaded correctly
Professional sheet film is designed to be handled with your hands and fingers, so it is OK to grab the sheets in order to load them. Most modern films will be fine and you do not have to worry about finger prints or other issues
