Hey, everyone -
I'm about to pull the trigger on a Crown Graphic as my first step into LF. I'm not set up for developing 4x5 (yet), so I need a rollfilm back of some ilk. I'm wanting to shoot landscapes and some archetectural. I know the Crown is weak on lots of movements; I started into reading on the Meridian 45A today, and am intrigued. Question is, though, is there any way (short of major surgery) to use some kind of rollfilm back on one?
This here article (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/meridian/meridian.html) suggests that a Calumet C2 would work on the Meridian 45B, which (I think) has the same back setup as the 45A. Anyone know this for certain? Or have any other ideas about using RFBs on a 45A?
Thanks.
Scott
