Dark Slides Don't fit

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?

No. Totally different dimensions.

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.

I am almost certain that 8x10 x-ray holders do not follow the ISO standards
for 8x10 camera holders.

Same here.

Two of my 11x14 film holders are X-Ray. I've had no trouble loading
Ektachrome 100 into them.

Loading isn't the issue. 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.

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

Jim - now you see whay you are getting all those out of focus shots...!
Right

Out of focus? :-)

Yes, out of focus! 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
