I am also looking for alternatives to film holders. I am thinking of altering my changing bag to incorporate an elastic drawstring. Then making a wooden camera with a piece of molding that the draw string can fit around. The camera will have a compartment in the back behind the film plane to store paper. After taking a picture I will put the bag on, reach into the arm openings and open the camera to change out the exposed paper by moving the paper from one compartment to the other..
