- It would probably be easier to have an optional bellows hanging off the
- lens mount that would take larger-format lenses. (Actually someone
- tried this with a Mamiya 645 with reasonable success I think...)
- That way, the camera doesn't get too big and only has all that floppy
- stuff when you really need it. :-)
-
- Come to think of it, I don't want a camera that takes 4x5 negatives.
- (Can you get 4x5 in roll form? Makes it much easier to develop a motor
- drive! :-) I'd want a camera that would give me the quality of 4x5
- on a 35mm frame! (How's this... a camera with a "Tardis" that distors
- space to fit a 4x5 negative in the space of 35mm! Yeah! :-)
