7x17 film holder dimensions ?

Hi,

The following film holder specifications were recently pointed to on an earlier

thread in this forum:

http://home.earthlink.net/~eahoo/filmhold.html

I'm wondering if anyone has the specs for 7x17 holders? I'd like to attempt

making a 7x17 camera but would like it to match any applicable current

standard.

If there is no standard, I'm hoping someone might be able to supply actual

measurements (width, length, distance to light baffle tab, distance to exposure

field, T-depth, etc.) from an existing holder they may possess. Thanks.

Joe,

I am thinking to do the same thing - build a 7x17 film holder.

Here is a site that has the dimension, I am not sure if it is 100% accurate or not, but I think it is very close.

No such thing as a standard 7X17" film holder. They are all different, from the older

Korona and Folmer and Schwing ones, to todays holders made by AWB, Lotus and

S&S.

To repeat, there is no standard. You make the camera to fit the holder, or you make

the holder to fit the camera.
