Rollei Ortho 25 in 5x7 Question

[Roseha]

Rollei Orho 25 is available only in american sizes: 4x5” 5x7” and 8x10”

Old european or metric sizes are not available for Rollei films

So it should fit the 5x7 holder correct as B and H says?

Thank you!

Yes.

All and only film marked 5x7” fits on 5x7” holders

I don't know Rollei Ortho, but if you look at Arista Ortho Litho at Freestyle, you'll see that the 4x5 explicitly doesn't fit 4x5 film holder and they sell 3.9x4.9 for that purpose. I've shot the 3.9x4.9 so I can confirm that that size does fit the 4x5 film holder. You can see the same with Arist Ortho Litho 5x7 and 4.9x6.9. So I wonder if the Freestyle rep is confusing the two?

I suspect so. Unless they have some other version in their store.

I have heard back from Fotoimpex:

"Hello Rosemary,

thank you for your message!

The standard format´s 4x5" and 5x7" will match with your holders.

For 9x12 cm or 13x18 cm formats which are a little bit different from the above mentioned formats you would need seperate holders.


Thank You!

Thanks to everyone's help in this thread.

Thanks so much for chasing this one down!
I guess all that remains is for me to ante-up and purchase some to try. :-)
