Do magazines accept 6X9 transparencies?

[montague_withnail]

I know magazines can handle 35mm, 6X4.5, 6X6 + 6X7.

Can most also accept 6X9? I appreciate the info as

it may help influence a buying decision with regards

to a Fuji Rangefinder. I want to know if it can be

used for saleable slides, or if it is only suitable

for wall prints. Thanks very much.

Yes is the answer. I've got a Fuji GSW690 and the transparencies that it

produces are excellent, especially for things like cover usage. If the

proportions of the image are a touch too long, then there is plenty of room for

editors to crop into. Remember also that the Fuji 6 x 9cm cameras are really

more like 5.6 x 8.6 cm in proportion, appreciably longer than 6 x 7cm images,

but still very useful, think of it as being like a giant 35mm image. Saying that,

give the images a slight crop to the top and/or bottom and they can give a

good panoramic effect too. You won't regret buying one of these cameras.

They may not return them; read their policy closely; and make it easy for them to return them to you..is SASE

I agree with the above, but if you have any doubts or other questions, get in touch with the picture editor(s).

I meant to mention that Dales in the UK are amongst the best for prices on the

Fuji 6 x 9cm cameras at present, actually significantly below Robert White's

prices at present. I'd recommend either of these companies to deal with, both

are competitive on prices and courteous any time that I have called them.

 

I've got a posting on the General non-archived section just now, commenting

on good and bad camera shops in the UK that I have dealt with, if anybody is

interested in adding a few comments. I've only got one bad company on my

list at present and that is Fieldgrass and Gale, for quite a few reasons. Maybe

others have had better luck with them than I have!

I know for a fact that loads of food- and studio-assigments in

Belgium (and no doubt around the world) are done using 6X9

transp. (mostly with that Fuji-thing...). So, no worries there! Good

luck!
