    I made an interchangeable lens board for pinholes for my 4x5, although I admit that I have not used it that much. I can insert one of three different pinholes, and then 'focus' by racking the front...

    Re: Rear movements - would you/do you miss them?

    Like Bruce stated, it depends on what you need out of a camera. Personally, I use rear tilt, shift, and swing often enough to miss it if I had to use a camera that did not have these movements, but...
