Hello.
I have a 4x5 camera. I had shot some kodak e100.
Now, I tried to load an Era sheet of 100iso film to shoot tomorrow a portrait. Ok, the film is 4x5 as well as the Kodak, when I was at the dark, trying to load, I realise that this film is bigger than the other I worked with.
Has this thing any explanation?.
Are different format for the same 4x5 film?.
I´m not sure, but I have my Fidelity Elite 9x12, maybe I need some 102x127 Does this exist?

THanks.
Javier.

9x12 cm and 4x5 inch holders have different internal sizes so a 4x5 inch (I guess the ERA film is 4x5") film does not fit in a 9x12 cm holder, unless you trim it down to fit. This needs to be done in total darkness. The external size of the holder is the same for 9x12 and 4x5.

EDIT: 102x127 is the metric size of 4x5". Just to make that clear, if it wasn't. :)
