slightly off topic - old film size inquiry for contact negs

Hello All,

If this is too off topic, please just delete and forgive; but if you know the answer to my question, please answer off list first then delete..smiles... :-) :-) :-) and forgive. The question does regard making negatives for contact printing with alt processes.

I am asking here because this list has an international audiance and I was once told that the film I seek might still be available in Poland...but I lost contact with that original source, so here goes....

I have two Voigtlander Avus cameras (1914-1927); one is complete with ground glass, film pack holder with some leftover old film, and 4 sheet film holders. The sheet holders say Kodak Cut Film Sheath 31/4 x 4 1/4. If I fugured correctly, that is a bit more than 8 cm x 10.5 cm. the velvet on the holders looks pretty good, so I think they will be light tight. The gentleman I purchased the first camera from 3 years ago said the film packs were still available in Poland; however, as I mentioned above, I lost contact with him. My other option is to cut sheet film to fit the holders. I would rather do this than alter the camera in any way (except maybe the one that is less complete, but it is actually the older of the two).

Anyone know if this odd size film is available anywhere? If so, some in camera negs will be a nice change from using only diginegs enlarged from 35mm film!

Thanks,
Judy
