Show me yours!

Ole, that's really nice. Do you coat your own glass plates or are they still available somewhere?

Glass plates are still available every now and then, but not in that size. So I resort to "coating" the glass plates (from cheap clip frames, bought at IKEA) with sheet film, attached with a light smear of orange marmelade... An added advantage of this way of doing it is that I can use just about any size fil, including 5x12"! One of the small lenses in front is a 150mm very-very-wide-angle - it covers the full 24x30cm; just great for 5x12"?

That's good to know, thanks. Sounds tasty, too!
I'm having a hard time getting my brain around 150mm on 5x12!...My 250 seems pretty wide. That must be some lens! And it looks tiny.
