A Speed Graphic would be a Texas Folder.
Folders are worthy of a whole email list unto itself.

Perhaps someday a medium format folder digital.
With quilted titanium bellows instead of cloth.

Folders are an elegant way of doing photography.
as pocketable as most Leica M's made after 1954.
With several times the real estate.
6x9's make nice contact prints.

60 * 90 = 5400
24 * 35 = 840
5400 / 840 = 6.4 x the real estate.
