    Actually, the Eastman catalog speaks of knocking a hole into the darkroom wall and having the light source OUTSIDE the darkroom with the camera pushed against said wall opening on the inside ; a simple horizontal enlarger if you wish.

    Craig, What you need to know is the size of the inside of the rear of the bellows. This will be close to the max format size back you can use. I.E. 14" sq= 11x14

    Seems Ansel Adams had a similar setup. Now you just need to combine that idea with Edison's revolving studio and you will have a good constant light source...http://inventors.about.com/library/i...n_Pictures.htm
