5x7 film holder dimensions/dementia again

So now I'm taking the totally empirical approach. The hell with
"standards"[1].

Can anyone who has 5x7 holders out there measure them and give me the
dimensions? I'm looking for the following:

o Total length & width
o Exposure length & width
o Retaining tab location (distance from bottom of holder to top of
retaining rib)
o Distance between bottom of holder and bottom of exposure opening

I'm comparing these to the dimensions I found at
http://home.earthlink.net/~eahoo/page8/filmhold.html.

Many thanks for any who care to respond to this.


[1] Like they say, the nice thing about standards is that there are so
many to choose from!

Purchase one or two of the film-holders and measure them yourself.

Well, John, I already kinda did that, if you read my earlier posts. I
have a bunch of E.K. holders, but I'm not sure how "standard" they are.
(I'm used to seeing holders made by Fidelity, Graflex, Lisco, etc.) So
do you know whether these could be called "standard" holders?

Besides, it'd be interesting to get dimensions for lots of different
holders and see how they compare.

I'll ask a friend of mine who shoots a lot of 5x7 if he can help us out
here. Fidelity holders are the same as the other late plastic holders.
