Negative sheets

[connie2]

Does anyone know if negative sheets are available in other sizes apart from 35mm, slide or 120 format? If so, where from and what sizes are available.

Are you talking about sheet film? If so, it is available in a wide variety of sizes all the way up to 20x24 inches. 4x5 and 8x10 inches are most common in the United States. The Europeans have metric sizes.

Hi they are old black and white negatives of my late grandmothers which must be over 70 years old and are of varying sizes up to 2.5" x 4.5".

print file makes them

they will not have the exact one for your obsolete film size,
but they will have something a bit bigger ( like 4 4x5s to a 8x10 sheet ) for example,
and your film will fit in there perfectly. you could also get thumb tabbed envelopes
(the ones that are open at the top ) and cut your film and put them in there,
then put the envelopes in an archival "shoe box". i store all my sheet film just like that ...

gaylord brothers library / archival supply
sells both the envelopes and the shoe boxes.

good luck!

Oops, now I understand the question.

 

[Chazzy]

Okay, now I understand you. What you want is negative storage sheets. I've never seen any which are set up for 116 or 616, which I think is what you have with the negatives 2.5 inches wide. I don't know anything about the sizes available for glassine sleeves and envelopes, since I don't use them.

Sorry for not being clear originally - i couldn't think of what they were called.

Freestyle Photo (www.freestylephoto.biz) has literally about 100 diffrent sheet films. Most are black and white but they carry the Kodak color slide and negative too. Breeze around their site.

They also carry the archival storage sheets you seek. And they are a partner with APUG.

Connie, I buy mine from Silverprint - http://www.silverprint.co.uk/Catalogue.asp?PrGrp=9

As they are valuable, you might want to thing about getting the Secol version - more expensive but are of Archival quality

Valuable Negs should also warrent an Archival Storage Box.

I have an Archival Storage Box and Secol sleves where I keep by best Negs - but sadly its suprisingly empty
