 As to cut film holders, as I   recall, not all
 are suited for use with Infra Red film,  should at some point  you want to 
 work with that type of materials .

When five raised dots exist on the tab in which you pull the dark slide, this
means that the dark slide is IR opaque.  I use some old holders of this sort
for my infrared pinhole work and they work just fine.

Maggie,
you can go to camera shows and ebay and pick up most used double sheet film 
holders for $5-$25 each...anything in good shape and cheap is the best way to 
go..i have even used some old wooden ones that were all taped up and they 
were ok :)

Maggie,

I would suggest a polaroid film holder (to test your exposure-and for final pics), and if you are going to use sheet film and load it yourself, go with new holders, such as the Lisco brand. They are inexpensive and reliable. You can also go with readyload sheet film, but it costs more.
