Different manufacturers clearly used a slightly different frame size for their nominal 6 x 6 cm (2¼ x 2¼ inch) cameras. I have three such cameras at present and so I measured the frame sizes: Here they are added to my measurements on negatives:
Frame Size (mm) | ||
---|---|---|
With direction of travel | Across film width | |
Braun Paxina/Gloria | 58 | 56 |
Zeiss Nettar | 56.5 | 56.5 |
Kodak Duaflex | 58 | 58 |
Minolta Autocord | 55 | 56 |
Rolleicord Vb | 56 | 56.5 |
Are there measurable differences in 24 x 36 mm frames from 35 mm cameras which would be useful for identification?
I hope this method proves useful to others faced with the same problem.
