I was hoping to find out what mask I need for my 4x5 Crown Grapic Special with a Schneider Kreuznach Xenar 1:4.7/135mm lens.
I am using a Singer Graflex roll holder it is model RH 20,negative size is 6 x 7 or (2 1/4 X 2 3/4)on 120 film.Thanks for any help!!

a number 10 mask (pretty darn small) covers 128mm to 152mm for 6x9.

they never made masks for 6x7 and stated that viewfinders were only an approximation.

Another possible solution is to buy the #14 for a 6x6cm frame for the 135mm lens. Than all you would have to do is to file just a hair under 1.0mm off each side for 6x7cm opening (actual size 11x13mm less a hair on the width.
