The Model 2 will take 5x7 holders which is rather useful. The ground
glass is 4 3/4" x 6 1/2" but the opening behind the ground glass is
only slightly under 5x7. So I will be able to use it for 5x7 and put
up with a little image loss on the neg. until digging up or
fabricating proper 4x5 and 5x7 backs for the beast.
It really is a delight to use and looks rather handsome on a tripod :-)
