Not sure what you mean here.  I use the Realist format negative all of the
time to print my Holmes sized views.  The Realist format is essentially
square, as is the Holmes size, so it's just a matter of enlargement factor.
  A standard 3 1/2 X 5 print yields about a 3 3/8" wide X 3 1/2" tall image,
so very little cropping is needed to get to the 3 1/8" wide Holmes image,
usually enough to eliminate the extraneous image not originally seen in the
viewfinder.
