Yep! My brain is still spinning on this one. Perhaps I should stop
spinning and just experiment a few alternatives on a smaller box (price
conscious). I suppose it would have to be somthing like a film holder or
perhaps a Graflex multiple-sheet holder.

Suggestions welcome...

Exposure times are long indeed so the box has to be well installed. On one
occasion, I've actually put the camera on top of my car and attached it to
the rack. (No! The car was NOT moving when I took the picture...).

I suppose that I could get some 20x24 film from J&C. But this is expensive.
And paper negatives have a distinct beauty of their own!

Regards,

Guy
