Hi,
I just bought my first LF camera, a beautiful 4x5 Plaubel Peco. It came with the original back and viewing screen, and with two original very thin film holders.
Yesterday I tried to use it, but I had two problems:
1- because I'm used to load film in new film holders ( those twin f.h.), prefered to use then, but they just won't fit my back!
2- Then I tried to load the film in the original, thin film holder. But, this time, the film didn't fit the holder. It seemed like the holder was a little smaller, and I had to crop the film before loading it
How can I solve the problem. Plaubel backs are very hard to find . Can i use another kind of film holder? Have I done anything stupid?
Thank you for your help
