Maximum Film Thickness

What is the maximum thickness of film that can be reloaded without breaking a minox 8 x 11 camera?

Amoung currently available Minox factory loaded film, Minopro film is

the thickest, which is about 6 mil is , imo, the limiting thickness

for Minox 8x11; beyond that, the pressure plate may have problem, in particular the

curved presure plate of Minox A/B may not be able to press the thick

film tight against the curved film plane.<P>

In my own application, I limit the film thickness at 5.5 mil (AGFA

film ). In the thread "Minox cassette capacity", I listed only

up to 5.5 mil.<P>If you use factory loaded film, there is no problem <P>If you slit your own film, 5.5 mil is about the thickest film you can cut

comfortable with Minox slitter, beyound that, the film may chip and break, and damage the padding of the slitter; and you will avoid thick film like

plague.
