I have the standard dimensions as established by ANSI. Kodak
follows or followed these sizes.
For 4X5 the aim dimensions are: 3.92 x 4.92 (in)
I believe the reason is to make room for the adapters once used to
fit sheet film into glass plate holders. Glass plates are exactly the
nominal size.

Hi!
So I just got this guide bar for my 20 inch Nikor rotary cutter.
I like these cutters because the wheel can be rotated out of the
way and the surface is 20 x 20 inches scribed at 1/2 inch intervals.
I'm cutting 5 inch wide aerial film. Setting the guide bar at 4
inches, I soon discovered that 4x5 film is not actually 4x5. It
is actually 3/32 inch shorter at the 4 inch side and 1/16 inch shorter
at the 5 inch side.
The things you can learn in retirement besides how the
frig lite goes out.......!
