Polaroid 405 back darkslide

[atlcruiser]

Hi All,
I scored a 405 back but the seller neglected to mention the missing darkslide. Does anyone have a 405 darkslide and can send me the dimensions?

thanks

What a jerk!

I am more of an ass than a jerk

8.85 cm X 14.3 cm. I'm not near my 405 back for my 4 X 5 camera, but these are the measurements from
my 405 back for my RZ. I think the measurements would be the same for all 405 backs...but I'm not positive.

thanks Marc! I will cut up a slide and see if it works

I got one a while back with no dark slide and I made one out of a sheet of .02" black plastic I got from Micro-Mark. I believe you will find that the slides from a typical sheet film holder are a slightly too thick.

yeah polaroid slides are super thin. so thin they bend.

They do pop up on eBay from time to time, try to get a metal one.

I have a 4x5 405 holder, so if the dimensions for the smaller holder don't work remind me tonight and I'll get out the tape measure.

I have one that I'm not using. I have a broken back which I trashed and kept the slide. It's 88 x 140mm (approx.) You can have it if it works for you.
