    You might just have to step up to 11 x 14 to fit a true 8×10 plate. I have made my own film holders using the information in the book titled Primitive Photography: a guide to making cameras, lenses and calotypes by Alan Greene. It has plans for all sorts of cameras, lenses and holders. It has a wet plate bent but the ideas are easily modified for dag plates.
