But that $$$ remark ... It's not all that unusual for a box of sheet film these days to cost MORE than numerous LF lenses do, at least used. And logically, that would make "box cameras" more valuable. Then all you need is a "pinhole lens" in the clamshell box - no need for even sheet film holders. Don't say I'm not innovative.
