    Hey Jose

    I happen to be in the 7x11 Eastman 2 club so I can say for sure that the 7x11 extension rail is 9 1/2" so if your extension rail is to wide for your 8x10 2/2d then that's the one.


    I may have to post a photo or two of my 7x11 Eastman 2 later today.

    Yeah Jose, I'd be interested if it fits. I'm shooting the camera right now with some wetplates...PM sent.

    Garrett,

    Your PM box is full

    And to answer the question. No, the 8X10 rear extension track rails are 7 1/8th inches, center to center. The extension rail itself is 8 1/2 inches wide.

    Update - a kind friend is sending me a 7x11 back and holders. Now I'll need film. What are my options? Was any of that military roll film 7" wide? Or do I need to wait for the Ilford yearly special cutting sale? I'd prefer cheaper film, if possible, over 10 bucks a sheet or whatever I'm sure I'm about to discover.

    7x17 X-Ray, but it also needs a 7" sliver cut for my 7x11 holders.

    You get a bonus 5x7.

    When I ordered Ilford 7x11 FP4 last year, during the cutting, it shipped immediately. It must have been in stock somewhere. It was fresh. Odd.

    Thanks, I guess I'm going to have to get smart on x-ray film now. I know it's cheaper. I use all kinds of weird stuff (wetplate), so I should go for it.
