My source for almost new Fidelity Elite film holders come in at 
CDN$33.00 each  - but I just bought all they had :-) (anyway - you can 
only carry about 5 or 6 of the buggers at a time...)

I process in drums if I do B&W, but I'm doing mostly colour - though I 
always seem to be coming across 8x10 hangers - check out government 
sales every now and then.

Yep - the Freestyle Arista is 99.9999% certainly Ilford FP4/HP5, and as 
I love both films, they work great for me. Their bargains on LF 
outdated frozen Fuji colour film a excellent.
