I recently purchased a Chamonix 045N2. This is my second 4x5, the first being a lovely Sinar F2. The Chamonix is fantastic (my shoulders and back are rejoicing!) but I am missing the Sinar's extremely helpful DOF Calculator (also missing the swing and tilt but I tend to use that less).
I looked through this thread on how to make one for the Chamonix but I don't like the idea of attaching a plastic film can to the camera:

How are other Chamonix users dealing with this?
Also, would the method indicated in the thread above work as a flat card? So you focus to the far point, place the card with the DOF markings on something that doesn't move, then focus on the near point and read off the number?
I hope this makes sense. I'm also considering buying a Rodenstock DOF calculator.
