Graflex K-20 Camera

[Rlibersky]

This camera used 5.25" by 20' film rolls during WW2. Unfortunately I can not find a manufacturer still making this size film. So I was thinking of using 5" roll paper made by ilford.

Will this paper be to heavy to make the turn it will need to make, to work? What effect will it have on the emulsion with a radius of ~ 5/8". I have reels and the ability to roll it myself.

Thanks

One of Ilford's variants of Multigrade IV is on a slightly thinner base, I have a large roll 5" wide, it's also faster than normal Muligrade by a stop or two.

You can buy 5 inch rolls of film from Ilford once per year during their special order run.

Thanks I will look into both options.

Kodak still makes 5" wide aerial film, the military and some aerial survey companies still use it. Agfa makes some too.
