Jem:

I used the 15 on my M3 DS, and the image area was just a shade bigger,
and I mean barely paper thick. Needless to say, I'm anticipating the
wear and tear of 70 years on that IIIa to ad a more "period" look to the
borders of the neg. area. Since my first filed carrier is more oversized
than I'm comfortable with on my R negs, maybe I won't have to do
anything yet. When I'm that close, sometimes the difference in the neg.
gate area can be just a single file stroke. It's a nerve-wracking job
with what is increasinbly a rare accessory.

Best,
 Slobodan
