9 X 12cms sheet fil?

[Richard Madrid]

Hi
I've recently purchased an old Russian plate camera (can't even tell who it was made by). I think it may date from the 1920's. It's in full working order and comes with some film plates.

I'd like to use it but I don't know if you can get film for it. The area in the film plate where the film goes measures 9 X 12 cms.

I've seen on internet that getting sheetfilm of 4x5 inches isn't a problem but that's too big I think.

Does anyone know if film is available for this camera?

if too big, just cut it

i myself plan to reactivate som old cameras this year. not sure where to start though, lack of time i guess.

J & C stocks 9x12cm sheet film. I don't know how much shipping would be to Spain, but maybe you can get some brand info that would help you find a closer supplier from this link.
