Who repairs Korona?  Bellows I suppose can be handled by a specialist but
who repairs worn wood or metal?
Is a Korona heavy?  My wood/metal Gandolfi certainly is when the tripod, RF
back, meter and lenses are added up.

A friend who uses Linhof tells me not to buy a 70mm Rollex back because (a)
you can't get film (b) if you do get some film you won't find anybody
prepared to process a "short" length because labs handle it by the 500 or
1000 metres .
Is the 70mm format wider than 120/220? I had thought any extra film width
went in perforations.  PL
