Hi Larry, I often wonder if I am the only person left on this planet still using the original Mido system, which is best described as a modern version of the McKenzie-Wishart; even with a small camera bag I can carry my MPP, lenses and enough loaded film for 12 pictures with ease. Best, Sam. La

Fidelity or Lisco should be fine. If you can easily enough pay, you might look at ebay, though I don't follow this item and can offer no assurance you will find any of those film holders. My feeling is that with patience you have an excellent chance. There are also stores selling used items

Why would you? Polaroid film holders are used for Polaroid film..(you would wear it out prematurely using everything and anything.) Standard film holders are generally used for film or paper negatives.. - Original Message - From: "Andrey Donchev" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
