Hello, fellow gear heads!!!!
I've got this neat little dilemma.
I have a 4x5 box camera with one plate holder. The holder fits between springs inside a reservoir in the rear of the camera instead of in the very back like a crown graphic or modern view camera. The plate holder is shorter than a traditional 4x5 holder (5 1/4 inches instead of a new Lisco at 7 3/8 inches).
I can relocate the keeper springs inside the camera to hold a regular film holder, but I need a short version of film holders that will fit inside the camera with the lid closed.
Does anyone know whether short film holders were ever made, and if so do you have any or know of someone who might either have them or could make them?
Thanks, everybody.
Tim
