Re: Big Cameras - construction techniques

Ingo -

I got some years ago from a friend, and some from eBay. It's called Kodak RAR
film and is 9.5" wide. I doubt they make it any longer. I've also got 12"
wide Kodak Orthochromatic film, but a quick check on eBay for each results in
no matches. You might add it to an eBay search in case it does come available.

Cheers -

george
