EXCELLENT... proof that simpler is better.

Looking at it again, I'm pretty confident that the QL holder would fit without any modification:
The C2 definitely needs to be banded, but it's actually quite natural-feeling once it's attached. It would certainly be lighter and less bulky to pack the 45 and a C2 vs the 45 and a Mamiya 7. And 90mm is a nice 50-ish lens on 6x7.
I was out shooting with the camera today, and had a blast. You could really shoot all day with this thing in your hand, which is not something I could say about many 4x5s. If you're bold, you can even shoot one-handed quite comfortably:
BTW, all these photos are from my blog "Ben Syverson holding things"
Less than I had envisioned, which is better than I expected. Simply an open box the size of the length and width dimension of most film holder. This is exactly what I would have hoped for.. Strap on your favorite holder and go shooting. I see you have the positioning groove for the ridge on the film side of the holder...good.
Thanks for the pics... very helpful and convinces me I can shoot up my ready/quick loads and more as I find it.
