Slightly off-topic, but I was hoping someone might be
able to tell me if there ever was (or still is?) a
standard film size that was anywhere close to 6x8
inches? I was in Japan last week and found an ancient
fold-up wooden 8x10 view camera with perfect bellows,
but no lens or lens boards. I thought "great for
pinholing" and bought it for a mere $65. When I got it
home I began to look at it and realized that it wasn't
8x10 at all. It was designed for glass negatives but
the one film holder that came with it has sheet film
adapters provided. Is there any such film? or will I
have to cut up 8x10 sheets?

Thanks

Colin
