Re: lens coverage, selection, cost.. was why Re: actual vs ratio sizes

[ralph fuerbringer <rof@xxxxxxx>]

  to cut, combine 120 bodies into longfellows with stability and precision
you need  cast not stamped film planes.  at least 90% of folders are crummy
stampings even the vaunted bessa 11.  i understand the ensign is cast but
the 620 spools would seem a problem. inspired by the shutterbyg article i
now have an extra longfellow, wide as  standard 57 film made from  2 brooks
veriwide backs: unique features include autofilm stop(4 on 120 & 9 on 220)
dark slide w/ groundglass interchangeable midroll with 90 super angulon or
47xl super angulon (good coverage f22,32,<planning 360 tele-xenar>.
attachable also to a standard 45 international back , finder 140 degree
horizontal from panofic, with masks. scale of l to 10 projected degree of
difficulty for above from shutterbug article:7,5. actual:15
