Well that would be a bit of a miracle as the 17cm side is 6.7"--longer than 
the long side of a 4x5.

So let me re-phrase it...

What the world needs is a 6x17 back that fits on a 5" x 7" camera...

Keith Canham has been threatening to do this for years... I spoke to him at 
the NYC PhotoPlus show and he didn't sound too enthusiastic... problems 
with tooling, etc... but he is still working on it.
