The cut film holder accepts two sheets of film, one in each side. It has a dark slide on each side to prevent light from reaching the film. There are two types of cut film holders, one for use with the Graflex type back and the other for the Graflok back. They are practically identical. A slot is cut in each edge of the long dimension side of the Graflex holder to permit locking it on the camera. The Graphic holder has no slots. It is held in place on the camera beneath the focusing panel by the springs of the Graflok back.

Most view cameras have either a Graflex or a Graflok type back which takes cut film holders. The back can be removed from the camera, rotated 90 degrees and replaced. This offers the photographer a choice of formats for compositional purposes-one having the film's long dimension horizontal, the other switching the long dimension to be vertical.
