Film sheaths for this plate holders

[baachitraka]

Got some 9 of these plate holders and now looking for film sheaths.May I know what size I should look for?

 

[Kino]

Sorry, your images did not come through...

 

[baachitraka]

Will post some this evening.

Size depends on the format of the plate holders themselves. Your Tenax is 10x15cm which is less common, there may be no film sheaths available any film would have to be special order. .

Three things need to be done.

- Compound shutter CLA
- Finding film sheaths
- Special order from fotoimpex after I know the dimensions of film sheaths.

What are the dimensions of the inner side of the plateholders? If they are 10 x 15, you should look for sheaths of that dimension. I have several since I have quite some German 10 x 15 camera's, and with a little luck you'll find them, but prices for film sheaths are relatively high.

 

[baachitraka]

Inner dimensions are 10x15 and they seems to be very expensive.

5 for 40 euros. That's 2x what I have paid for the camera including 9 plate holders.


Let's see...

Is available in Fomapan https://www.fotoimpex.com/films/foma-fomapan-100-10x15-cm-50-sheets.html
or You can stick 4x5 film onto the plate with transparent tape, just remember to get all the tape off before processing. Pain to do in the dark.
or or you can use xray film. You will have to cut the film to size under red safe light. You can process under red safe light, be careful of scratching.

 

[baachitraka]

Yes. Wish Fomapan 200 also available in 10x15

OK never new there was such a thing. Ive just been using glass or wooden plates behind the film. They look nifty.

May I know the purpose of this screw?

When unlocked, it makes it possible to shift your lens/lensboard horizontally.
Btw, very nice camera!

I did not try to shift. Raise and fall is not bad.

Yes, need a bit of gluing and painting.

Need to find film sheaths, nevertheless.

You could also shoot dry plates

Meanwhile I got a quote from view camera manufacturer (Lotus) for contact sheet print frame of size (10 x 12")....hmm 15x the cost of the camera. :-(

In the past I bought from this guy to fill my 10x15 plate holders:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/one-sheet-...709332?hash=item1ca9f85854:g:4-AAAOSwhZ9a6bda

Three came pretty clean, one I had to clean it myself.
For the Compound shutter CLA you can do it yourself:

Hi Ron,

Talking about 10x15 cameras I had to be here
I’m enjoying my Bergheil with the 9x12 adapter, long time I haven’t shot 10x15, I got one outdated Orwo but too much fog, I will take my Fotopan F back to the holders.

Cheers from Moscow!
Alex

Hello all,

I have visited his ebay shop. Is $7 normal price for one sheaths?

For shutter CLA I have contacted

http://www.fotoservice-olbrich.de/impressum/

and asking price is €50.

 

[baachitraka]

I did not send the shutter yet and no plans to do the CLA at home. Since CLA were not successful.

 

[baachitraka]

May I ask what other lenses that are based on dagor design?

Other day one plate camera Kollinear III lens went for €200 euros...

What is normal? Did you ever found one that was cheaper

...€ 50 for shutter CLA is a regular price...but with these kind of camera's I think most of us would do the cla ourselves since
from an economic perspective, these expenses would not be justified....and it is very rewarding to restore/service your own vintage camera's.
