I have the CM Fujinon W 250mm f6.7 and it's incredibly sharp. I use it on a 4x5 Linhof Technika (and a 5x7 Canham) and have yet to reach the edge of the image circle.

I've found straight-line leaks like this when using rise. Make sure your bellows are seated well to the front standard when using movements. The stress from pulled bellows can get you (did me).
I second Praus. High quality services. I have sent 35mm E-6, and 35mm, 4x5, and 5x7 C-41 film there in the last six months.
Delayed in adding this to the thread, but CSW is back open as of November. Go say hi. There are few places like this remaining in Chicagoland.

I am also having problems with Tri-X 320, but on 5x7. I recognize the vignetting and the bellows light leak here...
But there are these small black spots all over. I can't figure out what is...
I will second what djdister wrote about the camera. It's a fantastic machine. I made four photos yesterday morning with my MQC57 and smiled the entire time.
Every part of the camera is so well...
I appreciate anyone who is making anything new for 5x7. Thanks for the insider info! Looking forward to further development news!!
This design is "more affordable and easier to create."
Anyone shooting 5x7 is aware of the global dearth of good, affordable film holders. Intrepid Camera Company is working on that problem (now that they have launched their own 5x7 camera).
