Hello Karl,
The metric size of 5x7 is available in Germany - as for other parts
of Europe I have no idea....
I have a few metric 5x7 holders here if anyone needs them :-)
Her in the UK we use the traditional inch sizes, although as you say
we tens to give the longer measurement first - I though it was you
guys who had it backwards ;-)
