rubber bands work just fine for this...I also glue some dense black felt to
the camera to ensure a good seal...

In addition to using the holders, you'll have to devise a method for
securing them to your camera in a light tight fashion. I build wooden boxes
and use a wood pressure plate sprung with the springy things you  get in
metal frame hardware kits.

I've nearly completed a Bender 4x5 pinhole camera.  I want to use it for 
World Pinhole Day.  I have no stake in the company, but it's a great kit with 
precisely cut hardwood pieces and complete directions.  It takes a standard 
4x5 holder.  Take a look @ http://www.benderphoto.com/pincam.htm.

Good Luck!!

I would think that eBay would be the logical place to look.

Bruce, the web is a great source, for almost everything and you can find
film holders going on for auction all the time at www.ebay.com

I'm new to pinhole, mainly using a 35mm with a body cap. I've also built one
of the simple cardboard box versions using 4x5 paper negs and love the
results. To get more phototaking (and less walking), I'd like to build one
that uses the 4x5 sheet film holders I read about here. Any advice regarding
where I can find some inexpensive source for them (I'm located in rural
Minnesota and the web is my best access to the real world!). Thanks in
