Hi all. I've recently put together a rear frame for 4x5, and I'm just
wondering if it might be a little too big. It's square, and 8.5 inches on a side. I built it this big out of fear of the rear frame casting a shadow on the image
area when using movements. Is this something to worry about in any serious way, or will this size make it
harder to insert and remove film holders?
Second, now that I have film holders on hand, I'm ready to make the
back itself. Does a film holder need to
fit so that it is in direct contact with the outside edges of its seating, or should
there be some leeway? (The dimensions of the holders I received differ
slightly from the standard.) Also, they are the old variety, though in good condition.
Are there differences between the old and new film holders that will impact how a
springback must be constructed?
Thanks a lot everyone.
