Magnifax 4 Negative Carriers

Agripix · Apr 16, 2017

Searching for NEGATIVE CARRIER INSERTS for a Magnifax 4. I'm looking for the 6x6 and 6x7 inserts for the Meopta Magnifax 4. Although I have the carrier for 24x36, and the standard carrier with adjustable blinds, I like the precision of the correct inserts.

From the catalog/manual:
Part Numbers 6x7 - 392 821 430 211
Part Numbers 6x6 - 392 821 430 212

The external dimensions of the carrier pairs should be not more than 10.5cm x 9cm (if they are the same as the 35mm carrier. Each carrier comprises a matched (nesting glassless) pair.

I have searched all the obvious auction places etc. Perhaps European members are most likely to know supplier access, or have carriers to dispose of. I'm willing to negotiate a fair price and pay for shipping from Europe if necessary.

Thanks for reading.

RK photographic seem to stock a fair bit of Meopta gear.

Martin, I cannot see any 'negative inserts in your link. All I see is the search result for "inserts". If indeed you have seen some Magnifax negative inserts, I'd love to see a direct link. (I am on a watch list worldwide, so I'd be delighted to find some). Thanks.

Good link. Thanks. Don't see any for the 4 but I'll email them. Appreciate the note.

You might also try Fotoimpex in Berlin: https://www.fotoimpex.de/shopen/ They had a lot of Meopta material.

Yes, they are a good source. Purchased from them before. They don't have the inserts right now, and don't have them coming. Thanks.

Thanks. There is something weird going on here. The link takes me to eBay and Magnifax, and three items for sale, but none are the inserts. I have no idea why the inserts won't show for me, even with my own subsequent independent search. Strange. Cheers.

Hi again, Martin. I discovered why they won't show up for me. The seller "does not mail to US" and so when searching from the US, they automatically filter out. You learn something new everyday. The inserts are for the Magnifax 3, and last week I had emailed then to their regular store email (RK) to ask if they would also fit the Magnifax 4. Still waiting a reply. Anyway, thanks again.

No problem. My own Meopta's an Opemus 6 colour on which the 35 mm insert could hold the film better, but for 50 euros who's complaining?

Cloudy 8 · May 22, 2017

Did you get a reply from RK about Magnifax 3 inserts fitting a Magnifax 4? I just stumbled over this thread after asking myself the same question.

Agripix · May 23, 2017

Cloudy 8. Nope. Cannot see it anywhere. Still after the 6x6 and 6x7 for Magnifax 4.
Thank you for the note.
