[LargeFormat] Film Holders

[largeformat@f32.net]

I'm wary of handing film holders over to labs, not least beacuse one managed to f**k up a Grafmatic  - phoned me up to tell me they'ed got one sheet out, but didn't know to get the other 5 out! Put them in a box, label it and then there's less chance of lightleaks etc.
