What is a "film holder"?
A film holder is a device used to hold and position film securely within a camera during exposure. It ensures the film stays flat and aligned with the camera's lens, allowing for precise image capture. Film holders are especially common in large-format cameras, where they help achieve accurate and consistent results by maintaining the film's correct position throughout the exposure process.
