Full Plate image size?

[Bill_1856]

What is the actual image size of a full plate negative (6.5x8.5")? Thanks.

Depends on the holder. My Lotus and Chamonix holders expose 157.6mm x 206.9 mm. The only thing that's changed since this thread

is that Fotoman announced in January of this year that it will not bring "whole plate" holders to market after all.

Thanks, Sal.
I've got a lo-ball bid in on that FP Gandolfi, hoping for the best, but times are even tougher than normal. If I get it, I'll need to have a new back made to take cut film holders, and then find some of them.

My old wooden bookform holders expose 8 1/4" x 6 1/4", then have a 1/8 inch shelf around the perimeter for the glass to sit on, ending up with the 8.5"x6.5" plate size.

Chamonix WP camera and holder give me a image size of 158X207mm, or take Sal's number, I think it more accurate.

Ready to finally treat yourself to that Gandolfi you've always wanted, eh Bill? Hope you get the camera, they're pretty nice cameras. I like my little 4x5 Traditional though I find the movements and double extension somewhat limited. But they are exceptionally rigid and solid. Good luck.

...I've got a lo-ball bid in on that FP Gandolfi, hoping for the best...Did you luck out with that bid? :)

No, Sal, unfortunately I didn't get it. Never was able to find out how much it actually went for, either. Thanks for asking (after suggesting it)
