I am a new speed graphic and graflex owner and I want to shoot my 4 x 5 speed soon, but (and this may be a dumb question)I know how to load the film holders, know how to unload them but how does one ship the exposed 4 x5 sheet negs to the processor?? I don't want to ship the actual film holders of course, so how would you ship the negs to be developed? Any ideas???

I asked this same question (probably here) and got a host of answers. The most popular being "use an old film box", which doesn't help if you don't have any.

I found fairly inexpensive light tight black plastic bags at B&H and bought a half dozen to hold negatives. And you could wrap them in just about anything that's light tight, even old film boxes.

But maybe someone else will come up with a better suggestion?

Ask the processor how they want the film shipped, and follow their advice. Fred.

Thanks I am going to try those bgs at B&H and I am going to double check with the processor too! Great advice.
If anyone else has an idea please feel free to chime in

Hey I looked at the b and H website and what catagory exactly are those black plastic bags you were talking about? I searched and searched but to no avail.
