[LargeFormat] Darkcloth hoods?

[Karl Wolz]

That would have been me, but I recommended a size 12 lined black skirt (for
4x5).  Mine has a zipper, but no elastic.  Elastic would be nice, and the
zipper is handy for being able to hold a focus loop against the ground
glass.  Now, if I could only lose about 150 pounds, I could wear it for
partying after I'm done shooting, too!
