Built for reliability, precision, and ease of use, this cassette is designed specifically for 9×12 cm cameras, supporting plate sizes from 25×118 mm up to 90×119.5 mm, with an ideal fit at 88×119 mm.
Unlike traditional steel holders, this cassette is crafted from high-quality anodized aluminum, reducing the weight dramatically from an average of 104 g down to just 45 g, without compromising strength. The result is a lighter, more practical solution for field and studio work alike.
Compatibility has been carefully considered. By following strict DIN standards, these cassettes work with over 80% of 9×12 cm cameras, and nearly all models produced after 1928. This ensures a reliable fit across a wide range of classic equipment.
One of the key improvements lies in the internal spacing. By slightly increasing the cassette thickness, it comfortably accommodates glass up to 2 mm thick, which is the modern standard for dry plates. Many original holders were designed for thinner 1 to 1.5 mm glass, making them less suitable for today’s materials.
At the same time, the cassette retains traditional spring pressure, allowing you to use thinner glass or even shoot dry plate tintypes without any issues. This flexibility makes it equally suited for historical processes and modern workflows.
A careful balance of tradition and innovation. Lighter, more versatile, and built for today’s materials while respecting the standards of the past.
