I am thinking about adding a 6x9 to my lineup of equipment so that I can still m aintain movements and yet carry roll film for travelling. I figure that I can do this in two ways. Add a 6x9 back to my Arca Swiss 4x5 F-Metric or buy a new ded icated 6x9 camera. Obviously a new 6x9 would reduce size and weight.

Questions.

1. Do all 6x9 cameras require removing the ground glass and back? 2. Does anyone make a 6x9 film holder that slips in a 4x5 like film holders so t he ground glass need not be removed? 3. Is removing the ground glass as big of a pain as it sounds? 4. Is 6x9 w/ LF lenses a poor alternative to a dedicated MF camera system? That is am I sacrificing lens quality?

Thanks, Bill
