    Hmm. I can see why those probably never particularly caught on. A bit overwrought compared to a graflex super-d or arca reflex.

    "Super Stud"? There's gotta be a niche for such a camera.

    Goes to show: Just because something CAN be built, does not mean it should be buile.

    A parallel statemen (by Larry The Cable Guy): Just because they make it in your size doesn't mean you should wear it.

    Reminds me, a little bit, of the 70mm Camerz portrait cameras that I worked with c.1980.
