I am interested in using my Rollei plate holders with cut film in a pinhole camera I plan on building for Pinhole Photography Day. Assuming this is not an entirely foolish idea, what is the best souce of cut film for the holders? I prefer not to cut my own sheets or coat my own plates as I have no experience doing these things and would like to avoid dust, fingerprints, etc.

Thanks

Darkslide size is 2 7/8 x 4 1/4 inches. Holder pressureplate is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 =/- so i assume this is the larget piece of film that is usable.

Looking at Rollei Manual just now it says 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 (6x9) plates or sheet film "leaving one large margin for technical notes and indexing".

I've e-mailed to fomafoto. Will try freestyle too. Fotoimpex does not seem to have an English language version running at present.

Thanks
