Sources of 2x3 cut film

[Gene Crumpler]

I recently picked up an old 2 1/4 x31/4 camera. My purchase was partly as a coll ectable and also an ocassional user. So far I have identified Film for Classics as having ready cut Tri-x and Tmax 100 for this size. Seems I also recall that Ilford supplies HP-4 in this size. Do any of you know of other sources of this o ld size film?

I also had planned to cut down 4x5 Kodak HIE film to two 2x3 sheets, but I just heard that Kodak has discontinued HIE in 4x5?

I think freestyle sells 2x3 sheet film but i am not sure. www.freestylesalesco.com

www.wbhunt.com W.B. Hunt's in Melrose, MA carries TriX in stock. They ship around the world and are very fast... pretty good prices to. When you contact them you will usually talk to Lisa or Will who are really good people. Cheers, Scott

Gene according to Kodak's web site they reckon they should have enough stocks of 4x5 HIE until the end of the year. Regards,Trevor.

Thanks for the leads. I just ordered two boxes of HP4 from Freestyle.

Guess I better get a move on and make some more space in my freezer for the HIE!

Bill;

What procedure do you use to cut down 4x5 sheets to 2x3?

[Bill Jefferson]

Hi Gene,

made up a 2 piece guide which sandwiches the crome in the middle with slots in it for a razor blade. Little crude but does the job, and don't scratch the film

Gene: I made holes for regisration pins made from brads in my cutting board.The only thing I don't like is that I feel I'm handling the film too much with the potential of fingerprints and dust. I placed the holes at 2 1/4" and 3 1/4". Place all the pins, cut two sheets at a time. first the longcuts =4- 2 1/4"X4" then remove two pins and cut the 4 pieces to 3 1/4". Insert in clean holders and blow off the fresh surface before closing to minimize potential of dust. George

There is a company called "Film for Classics" that carries just about anything, or they will cut down to your spec. They are on the web.
