Hello,
I was fortunate to buy a complete Cambo SC 5x7 camera/outfit with filmholders, compendium, wideangle bellow, 4x5" reducing back, developing tanks and steelholders for 90 USD from an institution in Sweden who had decided to clean out their analog photo equipment.
The holders are 5x7" on the outside but apparently 12x16.5cm on the inside, so I guess I need film of that size if I want to use it...(BTW is this the same as halfplate?)
I then bought four 13x18 holders on ebay.de in belief that this was the same as 5x7"...bummer.
I should ofcourse have payed more attention to 5x7" discussions on this forum in the past, but I did not think I would go this way. After reading previous threads about 5x7" holders, film size and availability of film I am still not clear about which film to use etc.
I am now trying to find B&W film to get started with and intend to contact print.
Please, does anyone know where I can find 12x16.5cm and 13x18cm film, or should I go directly to 5x7"?
