TABLE OF REGISTERS - For MPP Large Format Cameras. Registers vary from model to model only the later models matching the international standard. International standard dark slides are currently made, Fidelity and Toyo being examples. It may be necessary to stop the lens down when using international standard dark slides in non standard cameras. Older cameras if required can be checked and screen registers adjusted before using for meticulous work. Wear will reduce registers especially on Mk I - Mk VI MicroTechnical cameras. The list below gives details. Some early and non standard cameras have been noted fitted with International Backs probably resulting from factory repair/upgrading.
DATA - is from published information and tests carried out on a number of sample cameras.
