Can someone help?

I am trying to upload some photos of 2c negative holders, but I keep getting the error message that my file is too large. It is a jpeg of 72dpi and 17X17cm. 268 KB. I just had a look at the size of a photo in this thread, it is larger. What am I doing wrong?

Maybe you can upload the pictures in Flickr. Then you can copy them and paste them (choose 'download' in Flickr and then copy/paste with your mouse) in this thread of this forum.

No Flickr for me. Anyway, I let it as showing the two different 135mm holders I have next to my 6X9 holder is not really important to this thread.

One is the original Leitz 135 holder with AN glass on top and a metal plate, with cut-out, below. It keeps the negative perfectly flat.

The other is with the same original Leitz lower part (the metal plate) and with a painted black metal upper part, with a 135mm cut-out. Maybe made by Kienzle, I don't know as I got it in an auction . . This is my IIc glassless holder and it also keeps the negative perfectly flat.

As with every Leitz negative holder (Ic; IIc; Valoy II) I file them out in order to be able to chose yes/no printing a black border.

If anyone wants to see these holders, just send me a PM with your email.

Thank you, I would like to see them. I'll send you my e-mailaddress.

Such a wonderful machine. I wonder how many will work nowadays. They must be at least 40 years old.
