I'm going to Iran for a couple of weeks and will shoot 4x5 sheet film.
I don't think I can take compressed air on the airlines now, and don't
know if I'll be able to find any in Tehran. Any body know of a manual
pump that would work? I'll have an antistatic brush, but would like to
be able to clean holders with air.

thanks

Giotto's Rocket Blaster works just fine.

Oh man, sheet film in a hot, dry, dusty country (unless he is only shooting
in the palaces, etc).... I wonder if he can find an IONIC BREEZE, or the
like to clear the air wherever he is loading the holders......

I find that a vacuum cleaner works better.

You also might get away with just keeping your holders in zip-lock bags.
