Thanks for the answers. I checked with Calumet, and they're out of stock for at least 60 days. According to customer service, "not too many people are shooting 4x5 and 8x10 anymore."

Thanks Louis. I was so close, yet couldn't quite get it all together. Everything seems fine now, but I'm sure I'll have more questions later.
