As all of you know MOST "6x9" cameras DO NOT produce an image 90mm long.
I looked through my collection of 6x9 cameras and measured them and found the following;
1. Fuji GW 690 III image length 80.4mm
2. Medalist II " " 81.1mm
3. Kodak 620 Junior " " 82.7mm
4. Moskva 5 " " 84.7mm
5. Super Ikonta 531/2 " " 85.2mm
6. Zeiss Ikon 514/2 " " 90.0mm *NOTE 90mm*
7. Four different Graflex
roll film RH-8 backs of
different vintages. " " 77.8mm
" " 78.0mm
" " 81.7mm
" " 83.4mm
The ONLY 6x9 camera I own that produces a TRUE 90 mm long image is a Zeiss Ikon 514/2 Cocarette. THE REST produce EIGHTYish mm long negatives!!
The membership of this forum with 6x9 folders is astonishing. I come to you with this question. I would like to purchase a "6x9" folder to produce TRUE 90mm long images for contact prints.
WHAT BRAND of folders do you folks know of that will produce a TRUE, NO KIDDING, MEASURED 90 mm long image on film?
There was also a thread that discussed the image dimensions of different 6x9 cameras, I can't find it. Anyone know which thread this was?
With great thanks,
