I've got a couple of monorail 4x5 cameras, and find I don't shoot as many LF negatives as I'd like because of the general pain of hauling them around. I was looking at the DLC recently on-line, and had pretty much set my mind on it. However, with the advent of the SQC I'm seriously leani ng in that direction (with the 4x5 back to take advantage of the common emultion s available for 4x5 and my current enlarger.) I'd like to get the perspectives of anyone who's shot 5x7 with a 4x5 back especially if you've used the SQC (are there likely to be significant differences between shots with the back and a normal 4x5...)
I think I've gleaned that European 5x7 is slightly differently sized than US 5x7 , and I was wondering if that's true how difficult the holders are to get, since I wouldn't mind mail-ordering Velvia in 5x7 from a Euorpean company if necessary.
Finally, any thoughts anyone has on the difference between the SQC and DLC would be appreciated, or anything else you'd like to throw in.
I'm in the Washington D.C. area, and have yet to locate a local shop that stocks Canham - which is next on my list of things to do prior to going too much further.
Thanks for your time,
Paul
