I have a few boxes of Kodak E100G, on the box it says 13 x 18 my DDS say 13 x 18. No way will the film fit in. My FP4 says 5 x 7 on the box and it does fit.
So is simple measurement beyond the capabilities of film manufactures? I do have a couple of Fidelity Elite's also marked 13 x 18 that do take the E100G which I now presume to be 5 x 7. Grrrrrrrrr.

If the E100G won't fit in the holders, then it's the holders which are too small: 13x18cm film is a few millimeters larger than 5x7" film.

Your holders must be 5x7", mismarked as 13x18.

Yup looks that way. All my holders say 13 x 18.

Seems only fair. All my 13x18 holders say "5x7" on them. Truly.
