A sheet film view camera can bee a wooden box costing a few hundred bucks or a machined steel geared Sinar P for ten thousand with the same lens the picture is going to be identical. All the camera really has to do is keep the film dark. And not insult the user by being big but with a little tiny piece of film in it. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
