Please excuse the "newbie" 4x5 questions . . . I've shot 35mm for 20 years, but 4x5 is Greek to me.
I'm have picked up a used 4x5 camera to give large format a try, and I want to e leviate the expense of changing out my darkroom gear (see prior question about p roper lens for 6x7 roll film holder). I found a Beseler part that "adapts" a 23C to accept a Beseler 45 condenser head. Has anyone ever done this? Does this wor k? Will I be able to enlarge 4x5 negs with this setup, and/or would the maximum print size be limited due to the shortened bellows of a 23C?
