Hello,

On the inside of the reducing back is an indentation (17 x 18,5 cm) with small clamping bows around it.
There are also two small screws and some white marks. (see picture)
Anybody ideas were that might be for.
I can only come up with that you could put a filter there.


I bought it as a 5x7 reducing back but a 5x7 holder will not fit I think, the dimensions of the glass, (the actual framing) are 11,4 x 15,9cm, (4. 1/2 x 6. 1/4 inch).
The outer size of the film holder would have to measure 15 x 21,5 cm or 6 x 8,5 inch. Is that the outer size of a 5x7 holder?

Kees.

full plate size (?) It states "L Gandolfi" which makes it rather old...

I don't know till what time they used an L in the markings, I also don't know when spring backs were first made?
