Logistically that would be challenging as I'm in Australia and the film holders are in the US! If I had the film holders in front of me I'd just try to put a sheet in.
Thanks for the answers but I'm still not clear, will these holders marked "12 x 16.5cm" accept standard Ilford 5x7 film?
I've come across a seller that is advertising 5x7 holders. He says the holders have the following stamped on them. "12 x 16.5cm"
Ilford 5x7 paper says it is 12.7cm x 17.8cm (Ilford 5x7 film does...
The ones I've found are way overpriced. Actually I'd be willing to swap Exc 8x10 holders for 5x7 holders, one for one.
I'd love to buy some 5 x 7 holders but every time I see "5x7" holders advertised on eBay they are actually 6 1/2 x 4 3/4 holders which are the ones I already have. Any tips as to where I could buy...
I put a little adhesive dot on the side I have exposed. I've had too many negs ruined by light leaks caused by removing the dark slide.
After some detective work, I discovered the cause of my light leak. The film holder can be inserted in the back either way, I didn't think it mattered but upon closer inspection, one side, the side I...
Shot a test today, it has a light leak. I noticed that the bellows plate does not sit perfectly snugly against the rear standard so took the sliding clamp apart and bent the spring a bit, reassembled...
My replacement bellows arrived from Custom Bellows today, what amazing craftsmanship! As I posted earlier I have put a 360mm lens on to its lensboard, and I've cut some 5x7 film and loaded a film...
I have just used Custom Bellows in England and can 100% recommend them. The bellows are superb and customer service was first class.
After a bit of searching I found the page for this

Thabks for letting me know about it!
I looked on the Ilford website but can't see anything about this program, could you provide a link to it, please?
I can't see any 6 1/2 x 4 3/4 film for sale anywhere so I'll make up a jig to cut 5x7 film to size. How long since 6 1/2 x 4 3/4 film was made?
I did a check on ebay and noticed a few ads for "5 x...
I've managed to fit a Rodenstock APO 360mm lens onto the lens board so I'm all good in the lens department. This may be a silly question but the film holders that came with it are 6 1/2 x 4 3/4 Lisco...
Thanks for all of the helpful replies. Yes the bellows frames look to be in perfect condition. I am going to engage custom bellows company to build the bellows.
This is such a nice forum, it...
The pics were in response to Bernice who asked for pictures of the camera.
Here are pics of the bellows frames.

The bellow frames are in perfect condition.
Here are two pics of it.
Many thanks for those links.
I also found this company in England, any experience with them?

Today I was fortunate enough to be given a TOYO V Deluxe monorail 5x7. I can't seem to find anything about this model on google. The owner said it had been sitting in his garage for at least 25...
Thanks for the heads up Andrew, I just ordered it.
I just tried swapping the lenses around, recall I have 3 lenses and only 2 lensboards. I found that a engineers callipers make a nice lens wrench. Thanks for the tip about the spacer, when I started...
Thanks for all the replies. It's good to know there are a few people doing LF in this neck of the woods.
I'm assuming this lensboard is the one I need?...
Just joined up. I used to do a bit of 4x5 many years ago but then went back to MF. Very recently I purchased a 8x10 Wista field with a Rodenstock Apo Ronar 360mm f9: Rodenstock Sironar 240mm f5.6...
