Thanks, glad you enjoyed the shows
I am cadding up a drawing now. Can anyone advise how much smaller mask sizes should be than film size to stop neg falling through?
I use 3 different types of film stretchers, no glass allowed
Some say no no! I find they work well
http://www.glennview.com/ can make almost anything and has his own design glassless
4X5 Beseler Neg-A-Flat
5X7 and 8X10 Saltzman
The slickest is Calumet 8X10 Glassless
They require very careful handling and exacting procedure. I have 2, they are worthless if damaged even slightly
I hear incoming...
Tin Can
Glassless Neg Holders
I do think location matters, as I live in humidity not desert sandstorms
glassless has only 2 film surfaces to keep dustless and clean
Glass adds 4 more = 6

Tin Can, thanks for the Glennview reminder. I didn’t know he was still around.
Measuring my DeVere carrier inserts and my LPL carriers, I get:
135 38.5 x 24 mm
6x6 58.7x58.7 mm
6x7 58.7x71.3 mm
6x9 58.7x81.8 mm

I am going to buy a De vere 5108 enlarger.
If you are selling an enlarger please contact me.
I am getting lots of PMs asking me how much my enlarger is, maybe I posted in the wrong section. The enlarger is most definitely not for sale! I haven't even used it yet!!
Thanks Luis for the dims, much appreciated!
Neg carrier design update:
The idea is that the top and bottom attach with rare earth magnets. Top piece has AN Glass, bottom piece takes 8x10 film plus 8x10 plain glass, or a speed plate. I am designing inserts which go in this hole for most of the J Lane plates, as well as common sheet film sizes. These inserts are 8x10 with smaller holes cut for different film sizes. The whole lot will be cnc cut on Dibond rather than solid aluminium (4mm top 4mm bottom, 4mm rebated inserts)
