For your Realist slides you need 5p mounts (and perhaps a few 4p for
cropping).  7p slides are used for cameras that take wider 7p pictures
(Belplasca, etc.) or for cropping full-frame slides.  The other two sizes
(wide, full-frame) are used for full-frame slides.

The "p" means film perforations (sprockets).  The Realist frame occupies 5
film sprocket holes, etc.
