I am trying to get a guy to build a holder for 130 f film for use when scanning. He said he needs a roll of exposed 130 film to test. Does anyone have some exposed 130 film I could buy from them? I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

According to this chart, the film should be three inches wide (2 7/8 x 4 7/8 image area).

Thanks for the link. It's unfortunate that all of the lists I've seen of film "sizes", including this one, never list the physical width of the film -- except for most sheet film, and then it doesn't list the size of the image.

It's one or the other, it seems.

Not complaining, just commenting. You can't have everything.

Thread title tweaked, because it seems to be the dimensions you are looking for, rather than the historical artifacts.

See my reply in this thread:

Kodak No. 2-C Autographic Jr.

I was recently given the gift of a Kodak no. 2C Autographic Jr. folding camera. With a little research, I found that it took 130 film. The film format for this model is 2 7/8 by 4 7/8. I have two questions: 1) Does anyone know of a source that spools 130 film and develops it? 2) The...
