If the conversion is by one of Uncle Dick's friends be warned they work with
explosives, which is one way of forming metal but not quite as you might
want. On a less serious note, why would you want to go to any expense to get
a 5x4 with no movements when you can get cheapish Sp Graphics with some
movements, many lenses,  long bellows, coupled rangefinder, adaptable backs,
various viewfinders and a history of successful photography?  Philip
