[LargeFormat] Large Format SLR

[philip lambert]

A most impressive piece of furniture.  If it's not a daft question, how is
it better than a conventional monorail with a mirror back viewfinder?  I had
one on a 5x4 which worked well and I could shut the bellows up for a 65mm S
Angulon.  Difficult to see the edges of the image though.
Don't see any way of using a 54 single lens reflex with a wideangle lens
unless somebody is making a retrofocus 75mm with a 150mm back focus.  I used
to have a Thornton Pickard quarter plate camera with a 6 inch Triotar lens
and there was no way a wideangle would fit and clear the rising mirror.
