    Sliding back - what film holder size?

    I have a sliding back for a half plate camera (4 3/4 x 6 1/2") and I don't know what size film or film holder it would use. The hole in the fixed section of the back is 2" wide x 3" high and the ground glass size is around 5 1/4" wide x 3 1/4" high. It looks as though it is designed to take two side by photos on the same piece of film.

    It has a simple spring back which when lifted gives a gap of just under one inch.

    And the space for the film holder is around 18.5cm long by 11.5 cm wide. There is a slot at the open end for locating the holder around 17cm from the other end.

    Can anyone suggest what double dark slides and film size would fit this back?

    Try Alan Brubaker at filmholders.com.
    As he makes holders he may have an answer.
