35mm(?) slide transparency mount question.
Going through my Dad's slide collection I noticed that he has a number of
transparencies whose outside dimensions match those of the usual 35mm transparency slide mounts and fit a regular 35mm projector but whose inside diameter is greater than that of 35mm film... Apparently from 1960-1963 before he used Kodak developed slide film returned in their own slide mounts those early transparencies seemed to be a larger format than 35mm - he tells me they used to return the developed film and he used to mount them himself in brown cardboard slide mounts. The overall dimensions are identical to the standard 35mm slide mounts @ 50x50mm (2" square) - it is just the 'window' in the middle that is larger with the result that the 'frame' around the transparency is slimmer. Would anyone happen to know what type/size/format those early transparencies might be and if slide mounts might still be available for them? The film itself is @ 43x43mm - in those days that would equate to @1 3/4" square The cardboard mounts are coming apart and will probably jam up an auto-loading mechanism so I would like to mount them again but standard 35mm slide mounts would necessitate cutting the transparency to fit - this seems such a waste and the slides are good quality and framed nicely - chopping them up to fit seems like sacrilege... -- Thanks & regards, -pp- |

127 was mounted in the same size as 35mm, as were 126 and half frame 35mm.
Prolly a couple other sizes too. -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "Pheasant Plucker®" wrote in message ...

I bet a Google for "127 slide mounts" would turn something up. -- -Stephen H.

It was a cartridge based system, with 28mm square negatives. See: http://photonotes.org/cgi-bin/entry.pl?id=126 Colin |

The film itself is @ 43x43mm - in those days that would equate to @1 3/4" square These are "superslides" from 127 film. You can get plastic slide mounts for these from J&C photogaphy www.jandcphoto.com. Look under 127. If you have an old photostore near you, you might ask them about mounts for superslides. Until fairly recent times, there used to be equipement for people to cut and mount cropped 120 slides in superslide mounts, so it is not impossible for an old pro store to have a bunch of the slide mounts.
