    Go for the Graflock back and filmholder. Only you can determine if it works or not. I like having the option, but have not used my 6x7 back enough yet to advice you. The time I did I liked the results.

    Right you are !

    The other thing which annoys me about this sort of camera (and the Mamiya when I had one), is that being a rangefinder, there is always a need for calibration. Without good calibration, the benefits of large film and modern lens design are tossed out the window. You really need a tripod if you want to get the best from the equipment. If you're going to do that, why not shoot 4x5, or at least a Hassy ?
