The Brooks Veriwide (I thought usually quoted as 6x10, although the
dimensions often aren't accurate). But can you run film through it to test
for edge fall-off?  How does the lens flare? (c) is really humdrum and (a)
would really depend on the brand. Also, what are you paying for the
Veriwide? For me it would be about $500.
