[Leica] Fotodiox 4x5 stitching adapters

[Philippe]

Thanks Wayne.

Wonderful !

That’s exactly the idea .

However, I’d be uncomfortable using them on a MUCH larger LF view camera - I must keep thinking and perhaps tinkering a bit to get to what I actually need … or think I need ;-)

But that’s the idea, so THANK YOU ever so much.
