Door Channel Foam – 195mm Long – No Adhesive
USCamera imported Black open cell door channel foam without adhesive. These strips are 195mm long. Available in thicknesses of 1.50mm, 2.00mm, 2.50mm, 3.00mm with various widths. Made in Japan for USCamera.
These seals are the most common sizes used for most film cameras. I find them much easier to install than adhesive backed foam and more permanent when glued down with contact adhesives like Pliobond. Just a few examples of the applications for these foam seals...
- a 1.5 x 1.5 seal was used in the body channels on the Nikon FE, FG and FM series cameras and more. The Minolta SRT, and X series body channels also use a 1.5 x 1.5 foam seal.
- a 2.0 x 2.0 seal was used in the body channels for the Canon A-Series camera. Also fits the OM series cameras body channels.
- a 3.0 x 3.0 can be used the Mamiya TLR cameras back cover.
- a 3.0 x 3.0 seal strip can be cut to 39mm long and used as a mirror cushion for most of the A-Series cameras.
