I have a nice 5x7 Gunlach Korona, but it has a funky, small lens board that is not very large and can't accommodate newer lenses. I will probably be stuck with the Kodak 207mm and 121mm wide lenses.
I also have a Whole Plate of the same vintage/brand, but was hoping to not have to cut-down the film with all the additional danger of scratching/fogging the film during the process. Luckily, it's lens board is of sufficient size to take more modern lenses; I just have to make/buy more now.
The downside is neither has the ability to do front tilts or swings and very limited back movements.
Yes, those are the cameras that I spoke of that will probably ride in the F64 backpack now. I was just hoping to get the 8x10 into the field, which has all possible movements.
Of course, I could attempt to sell them all and get one good 8x10 field camera...
Yes, First World problem, I know. Wahh, wahh, wahh!
