Well, clearly I asked the right group for help. Thank you all. Now I can get out the magnifying glass and take a close look at the details. I'm likely to ask for more specifics as I make my plans.

I'm planning a round trip from SF to northern Michigan next August. Going east I thought I would take a northern route through Idaho, either entering from eastern Oregon or coming up from Reno. I'd...

Vick,
The Fuji Quickloads will work in a 545i back, BUT accurding to Rod Klukas of Photomark, the film may not stay flat and you may get warped lines at the edges of the film. So, if you stay...
Thank you H.D.C. I just ordered a copy of the 2nd edition.

I am just starting to use an Arca-Swiss F 4x5. It's my first LF camera and I would very much like to find one or two photographers in San Francisco (or near by) to help me master the basics. If you...
