I shot my Crown Graphic with a 6x9cm roll film back today, hand-held.
Okay, it was awkward. I have better ways to shoot 6x9cm (Bessa II, Super Ikonta 531/2, Fuji 690's). But I really like the convenience of roll film.
Is the only reason to shoot 4x5 cameras the 4x5 film? I am beginning to think so. I haven't gotten to loading up film & holders yet. The only 4x5 that I've shot is Quickloads and I have none left. And that was colour, so I didn't have to deal with processing.
I guess I just have to "bite the bullet" and do a real 4x5 shoot.
So for you, does shooting MF roll film on a view camera just defeat the purpose of using a view camera?
