BPF 200 sheet size not fitting 4X5 holders

[Mike Hamilton]

I bought some BPF 200 for PMK tests. After failing to load the first sheet, I measured it and it's a full 4 inches wide. Both Kodak and Ilford 4X5 sheets are only 3 and 29/32nds. I can't get the BPF 200 into the holders without it buckling. Has anybody experienced this before? Is there a particular brand of holder that will accept it? (I tried Lisco, Fidelity and Toyo and none would accept the BPF 200.) Thanks.

Occasionally there are cutting errors with some of the East European films. I'd return it and get a refund.

That sounds strange. I used BPF200 with Fidelity and Toyo w/no problems before.

Either follow David's advice or else return all the film holders :eek:

[Mike Hamilton]

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe a different film batch will fit.

[Erich Hoeber]

Yeah. I had some film from that batch. It's an ongoing problem. :eek:
