Well there is always Ye Olde Grafmatic back - held, I think,
10 or 12 shots of 4x5 film. If you could find one, no
telling how many light leaks there are in the leather
bellows that let you change film septums. ;-)

You are thinking of the magazine made for the old
Graflex locking back. I beleive these hald 12 films. The
Graflex Grafmatic is an all-metal magazine that holds 6
sheets of cut film in metal septums (septae?). The holder is
arranged so that when the handle is slid the front sheet is
moved around to the back. There is a counter on the side and
when all films are exposed it locks. There are no light
leaks. They have a dark slide but its not the same size as
the usual Graflex film holder and are often missing.
Grafmatic holders were made for all sizes of Speed and
Crown Graphics and to fit both Graflex and Graflok backs.
The two backs are different. Because of the thickness of the
holder it doesn't work well in the old spring type Graphic
back although I think the last generation of all-metal
Graphic backs will accept the Graflok version.
