to Antonio Correia for stealing his title, but it made me think of this;

Kodak 12" Portrait lens doing what it does best, beautiful form. 6.5X8.5 film. Old Kodak.

Handsome and rotund! Hmm: almost a selfie.

Jim, you are fortunate to already have the film. Which camera are you using for this odd size?

Do you have a custom film holder for a plate camera?

Hi Asher. Years ago I found a reducing back for the old Kodak 2D 8X10. Kodak of London 6 1/2X8 1/2. I cut the film from long rolls of 9 1/2" Aerial Recon film. First cut at 6 1/2, then flip 90 degrees and trim an inch off. All in the dark. It's a lot of handling and I get lost of dust, but I can't afford $8 bucks a sheet these days. My shots cost me about .45 cents. Last film came all the way from Russia! It is Kodak Aerial Recon Panatomic X ASA 32

Excuse me, sir, did you say I'm rotund?? I resemble that!
