Dark Slides Don't fit
"Nicholas O. Lindan" wrote in message ink.net...
"Ken Smith" wrote Well I screwed up AGAIN. Bought a dozen dark slides for 8x10 holders that are too thick, too wide, and too short. What do these things fit? X-Ray film holders, at a guess. So then, are X-ray film holders normal film friendly, available? |

X-Ray film holders, at a guess. So then, are X-ray film holders normal film friendly, available? If you have an X-Ray machine they fit great. And X-Ray film just slides right in - nice rounded corners and all. I have never tried loading photographic 8x10 into an X-Ray holder, it may fit. Richard Knoppow is the man to ask. If you are lucky the holders and slides may even come with a glo- in-the-dark (intensifying the effect of the X-Rays, being the purpose) phosphor coating. At a guess there are more X-Ray holders around than photographic holders. As they get rough use, the holders wear out before the darkslides. I have heard, though, that 11x14 X-Ray and photographic holders are interchangeable - just make sure X-Ray ones are not 'intensifying'. Advice worth amount charged. -- Nicholas O.

Two of my 11x14 film holders are X-Ray. I've had no trouble loading
Ektachrome 100 into them. Jim - http://www.hemenway.com So then, are X-ray film holders normal film friendly, available? If you have an X-Ray machine they fit great.

The ISO standard that concerns me is the depth of the film in the holder. It has to relate to the standard positioning of the ground glass - if one cares to focus. Maybe the x-ray holder is the same, or people don't focus. I see no reason in the world that an XRay film holder has to satisfy the depth dimentions of a camera film holder. |

"Ken Smith" wrote in message om... Well I screwed up AGAIN. Bought a dozen dark slides for 8x10 holders that are too thick, too wide, and too short. What do these things fit? Lisco/Fidelity is what I needed. What is this, and does anyone have any slideless holders of this type for cheap, I wish. Jeeze McKnees. There also doens't really seem to have been any kind of standard as to the holder slide size - I have several different bands of 8x10 holders and most of the slides AREN'T interchangeable. Even for some of the, among defferent (oder/newer) models of Fidelity holders. There is quite a variation in the actual dimesnions among them. Especially, but not only, thickness |

Look across the river at the mite on the mouse's left toe. I can hardly make out its eyes! Now y'all who think LF is wasted on the web just look at that image. S u p e r i o r quality. |
