Hi William,    I agree with you...  I think just making your own holders  and non standard back is the way to go  ..Then design the back to the holder... The thicker holder has a big advantage of being more durable but the big disadvantage is the possibility of a light leak... I plan to

Re: [Cameramakers] Journey to the dark slide

I measured the dark slides on one Fidelity holder and also one Lisco holder last night. They are both between 0.0325 and 0.330. So one should be safe using commercial 1/32" sheet. The second problem, of course, will be to get it cleanly cut to shape... I would suggest that a "paint" or "epoxy"

Check with a local aircraft rebuilding facility. You should be able to get 0.040" 2024 T3 aluminum sheet from them. They may even have 0.032" --Greg Nuspel "Few things are harder to put up with than a good example." -Mark Twain ~~

Try finding some litho plates; these are thin aluminium (often, but not always) of a harder kind. Anodizing does take some slightly threatening chemicals, but nothing really bad. A weak solution of battery acid will suffice. Dilute to about 1 % acid in water. A more serious problem is getti

Re: [Cameramakers] Journey to the dark slide

Anodized aluminum would be nice. But I'd have some comments: 1) The thinnest "generally available" aluminum is 1/16 (0.0625"). 1/32 (0.03125") can be had, but is not so easy to find. I haven't measured my dark slides (I'll try to remember to do it tonight), but I'd bet they're not more than 0.0

Hello out there... I am in the process of trying to build a light weight 20x24 camera along with 12 single film carriers.. The initial stage is to build the film carriers so that the ground glass can be positioned accurately.. I have a idea for a " New " design for the film carrier which
