[LargeFormat] LF'ing in Paris

[philip Lambert]

Clive,  Just what is it about a field 4x5 Korona that is so compact?  I
never heard of one before..I had a Tachihara that folded very small but
after I added a few lenses, meter and a 120 back or DDS plus a tripod it
seemed quite a weight.   A lightweight camera that's usable in the hand is a
2x3 Speed Graphic but it has rising front really only in landscape mode; in
portrait format there is minimal rise.  Mine accepted lenses 65mm to 180mm
in small shutters but not my 203mm Ektar..It had a wire frame viewfinder,
apart from the ground glass.  My present Linhof 69 seems to weigh twice as
much, but it does more. Philip
