I don't remember Karsh having a camera like that when I worked for him, but I 
never assisted him with the Queen. I don't understand the 5x1" back, unless 
4x5" is meant. I think all the Queen's negs and transparencies were 8x10" - 4x5 
was used only for portability and experiments, and I never saw any 10x10" negs.
