Using my 4x5, I would like to experiment with a format that is 5 inches wide, but less than 4 inches high and crop the image in-camera. I remember reading that you can cut a dark slide, and insert it just before shooting the image - and then replace it with the full-sized slide.
My Fidelity holders are a few years old - but not having done this before, I don't know which tool to use for cutting the slide. I don't have any kind of workshop. How about several cuts with a sharp blade ?
Other than taping some opaque paper over my existing groundglass, is there any good way to mask it off, without ruining it or replacing it ?
Sorry if these questions seem lame - but I am often astounded at the resourcefulness of fellow forum members.
Thanks !
