When I find a little time, I may buy a box and load some holders and give
it another shot. Especially now that I know a guy who can develop and
scan..... :-) While I have the Graflok back, I never did get a Graflok
film holder. Maybe I can find one on the *bay and try it with some 120 as
well.
I don't remember the exact lens I've got, but it's Zeiss Tessar of some
flavor. I've got a Davis & Sanford airlift tripod with a head to hold the
thing, but man, is that combo NOT hiking-friendly. There's always my Crown
#3, which is cute, but also still a bunch of pieces.
