[LargeFormat] Crown Graphic Movements(or lack of) ?

[Brock Nanson]

Hi Les,

No, it's not light, but I think it's better optically than a typical press
lens!!  Camera doesn't shut - the rear cell is way too long.  I focus on the
ground glass which isn't a problem as I don't do much action photography
with this camera ;-)
