Hi Bob--
If you're interested in 4x5, and don't want to carry an assortment of
focal length cameras around, I can recommend the Finney 4x5 with the
multi-pinhole/zone plate turret. It handles just as easily as a view
camera, and fits nicely into a backpack, with loaded film holders, etc.
The camera is rather pricey, however, if you can find one; not sure if
Finney is making them again. You might find one on eBay.
I also have Zernike's multi-format 120mm, which I really like. You might
enjoy that as a replacement for the Olpe.
I have also made an 8x10 out of black foamcore, which uses 8x10 film
holders in a slot fitted onto the back; likewise a 5x7 out of a Kodak
100-sheet paper box, which I am using for my still life work.
Good luck--
Jan
