John,
Interesting that you mention that, after our last conversation about this on
FL, I've been drawing a 4x5 solid body CF with a focusing helix, hope to
have it done by spring.

How are things up north these days?

Many of us can make the same more economically.Interesting comment, did you
make your own View-Camera?

I have made several cameras. The design of the 4x5 in-progress will
probably shock most people. At first glance most would not even see it
as a camera. Minimalist to the extreme, but functional for view work.
It will be of aluminum, not wood, because wood is not strong enough for
the frame.
