thanks. will do search. point taken
(that being said, I often spend a lot of time searching in here, not finding excactly what I'm looking for... and isn't it part of the fun of being experienced, that all of us newbies take you so darn seriously and follow every step of advice we are given? or am I completely missing the point? sorry for chatting...)

So what's the depth of the image-forming sensor (plane of focus) in the Betterlight? Wouldn't you have to know this to interpret the applicability to film in film holders?
Cheers, Steve
It's made to be a direct slide-in replacement for a 4x5 film holder. Think much like the Sinar or Calumet roll film holders that just slide in under the ground glass.
...but, but, but.....this is a chat roomIt depends on whose intention we are talking about.
But no, this isn't a chat room. This is actually a discussion board. They were invented so that physically remote individuals or groups could discuss their common interests. Chatter can and often is a part of any discussion. The only real difference is that chat room communications are happening real-time and discussion boards provide time shift.
IOW, the distinction is largely technical and neither is intended to be an academic repository. There's no reason why people shouldn't simply chat back and forth if they so desire.
As I read through this, I can't help but wonder if the responses would be different if this camera was from Wisner and he came up with a similar solution.
Must be a hell of a lotta people interested or using the Chamonix 045N to get all of this attention?
I'll agree to disagree with the shortcomings....
Mine is working fine so far.
Keep the feedback going!

Sal, search engines are great but sometimes the subject matter is far too esoteric to find very specific answers to. If my and mortensen's question(s) were regarding how to change a flat tire then your point would be more appropriate. No offense intended but, in this case it just comes off as disdain towards those without your knowledge. Why not just answer the question since you already have that expertise?
I refer to Philip Greenspun's intention. This forum originated on LUSENET. The matter of how a forum gets used is not always easy to obtain consensus on. Philip was quite clear that he intended LUSENET to be an archival resource, not a chat room. I agree with his approach.

You are misinterpreting my post. It was not motivated by disdain toward those without knowledge. Rather, I'm weary of those unwilling to search. The subject being discussed in this thread is not esoteric for this forum. It has been covered in detail many times before. The answers exist for those interested enough to find them rather than cluttering the archive with repetition (which makes future searches more difficult).
