Does anyone out there have and use an Arca-Swiss ORB-23 (2 1/4 x 3 1/4) or ideally an ORB-45 (4x5 Reflex) camera? Want to use it with my Darlot Petzval lens.
Currently use a Sinar Norma: Darlot Petzval lens on a Sinar board (2" front extension to clear the shutter), Sinar shutter, camera, and finally binocular reflex finder.... not exactly compact and portable.
Had to pass up on an Arca-Swiss Reflex camera that was in poor (quite possibly broken) condition but priced as if were in mint condition. Still looking for an ORB-45.
Are there any other camera options out there with focal plane shutters? Only requirement is that the front lens board can't be all that small... would like to use a largest Buhl protection lens on it also.
