Free - Five Sheets of 5x12 Portra Film

[Richard K.]

In cutting down a box of 12x20 Portra colour film into 10x12 and 7x17, instead of throwing out the waste cuts, I managed to make 5 sheets of 5x12 size. This I properly notched in the usual place. Free (+ actual shipping) to whoever asks first (e-mail or PM). It would help if you sent me a nested light-tight box first as I don't have any in that size.
This is $50 worth of film!

This is worse than the Krypton Factor!

I can't figure out the maths: how do you cut down 20x12 into 10x12 and 7x17 and have 5x12 film left over???

(It's okay - I don't need this).

Doh! Color film. Sorry - can't use it. [grumble grumble] :(

Richard -

I think you should've posed a riddle: "how do I cut down 20x12" film to get 10x12" and 7x17" and have 5x20" left over?"

Winner bags it :)

OK here's a hint: Each of five 12x20 sheets yielded the wanted 7x17, the useful 5x12 , AND a 5x7 after a 1x5 waste piece was cut away from a 5x8. The remaining 3x7 piece awaits the revival of that format :rolleyes: Five 12 x20 sheets were cut in half to give me 10 sheets of 10x12. The 15 sheets of colour film I've produced will be used in a one-off desert portfolio as I normally don't shoot colour....

You should use it and have someone process it in the Jobo for you. It'd be well worth seeing a few color shots...
