A 4x5 film holder that has a slot for a strip of 35mm film in the
center.
Might make not only for some great 5" neg panoramas, but also provide
a way to use some films not ordinarily available to 4x5
(albeit in a reduced form factor).
I'm thinking of making one from an old holder. My Caltar HR 210/5.6
turns out to be quite sharp. Shot on certain 35mm films it might be
quite nice.


Linhof _made_ such an item. For the German armed Forces (Deutsche
Bundeswehr). On special request. The whole large format stuff of the
Bundeswehr is phased out now. Appears - Yeah - sometimes on ebay. During
its introduction, it was prohibetively expensive...


Just a thought.
Enjoy.


Yours sincerely

When I had a Deardorff 4x5 Special, its back came with two dividers you
could put in to make 2 or 4 exposures on a piece of 4x5 film. I never
used it, but if you have something like that you could make 2"x5"
exposures on one sheet of film. Such things might be available for other
cameras. I never used that feature.

Dear Jean-David,

I've forgot to mention:
- the company is Linhof of Munich, Germany, see http://www.linhof.de/
- the user was most probably not the regular army, but one of the
"Wehrtechnische Dienstelle" (Armory office). The use the same name tag
however.
- the reason to use 35mm film was the availability of Kodachrome 25 as
type 135 film only. They wanted to keep documentary colour photos with a
degeneration proof film for decades.

I think now the reason to do such extraordinary equipment is clear. Most
photos were taken black and white, of course with sheet film.

Yours sincerely

Christoph-Erdmann Pfeiler
