    4x6 film size?

    Looking at an older Ikeda Anba camera on the Big Auction Site. Seller says it is for 4x6 film size.
    Made contac to see if it was 5x7 - he says nope, it is 4x6 film size.

    He has this in the information.
    ・Back glass size: 16.8cm x 12.2cm

    Doesn't quite compute o 5x7 and he says it is not 4x5.

    Anyone know if 4x6 is an actual film size? Maybe an older format?

    Probably the Japanese キャビネ ("kyabine") format, which corresponds to the Western half-plate, 4 3/4" x 6 1/2".
