Trying to convert a 3x4 Film Pack Adapter to be used with Dry Plates.
Took a 3x4 standard film holder and measured the distance from the external wood edge to an old exposed sheet of film and got about 4 mm.
Is this correct?
Does anyone have an old Film Pack they can measure?
Of course would have to deduct the thickness of the dark slide bottom side of the case, before we made an insert to set the emulsion side of the dry plate at the correct height. .
Thanks p.
