philip_oleary Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 I recently aquired an Agfa Ansco field camera. The film size opening is 4" x 3". What size film holder do I need for this camera? Are they still available and where? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug_paramore2 Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 Sounds like a 3 1/4 x 4 1/4, which used to be a common size. I have seen the film holders advertised, and you might find an older photographer who has some. It never were as popular as 4x5. I haven't seen film that size advertised for years. <p> Regards, Doug.

tim_atherton2 Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 can be had here - never tried them myself though. <p> http://www.camera-exchange.com/ffc2.htm <p> of course it could be a metric size film? <p> Tim A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david richhart Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 Philip... I was at Jack's Camera in Muncie, Indiana a few weeks ago and they had some used 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 film holders for sale in good condition. They are great people to deal with and have a website at jackscamera.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_wendroff_rawnicki Posted September 28, 2000 Share Posted September 28, 2000 Finding a holder may not be a problem. Processing the film will be your biggest concern. You are going to need to cut down 4x5 sheet film to fit the holder.As for processing, you will either need to do it in a tray, by hand, or (if you are lucky) you can find a lab who has a roller transport processing machine (with the roller transport, you are taking a chance that the film will get stuck, or scratched).
