Now I am also looking for 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 glass holders. Thanks

What type? There are a gazillion of different standards - and plate holders at least will probably not be recent "International/Graphic" standard.

Good question. I don't know. The situation is as follow. Having SinarP with 4x5. 5x7. 8x10 backs I decided to make some research including glass plates. I bought already 12 glass plates (4x5) but don't have holders. There are a lot of formulas to make emulsion. Having enlarger maximum for 4x5 negatives I have to stay so far with 5x7 and 8x10 contact prints. I know that for glass plates was standard that everything is "no standard". But my friend will help me to develop glass holders from wood but I have something as a sample.

Sinar always has the modern, "International" back. But it can be near impossible to find glass plate holders for that - the more so in bigger sizes, where the few existing ones have been almost completely absorbed by the self-coating alternative process crowd.

There are a couple of small boutique companies (or rather, individuals) that make wooden film and glass plate holders to measure - the LF forum should provide pointers to them. But these will easily cost as much as 50 clean 4x5 film holders...

I need the samples then my friend do the rest. He already build wooden view camera

Update. I've bought glass holders for 5x7, still hunting for 4x5, 8x10.
