(1) In several trips to Schneider's website for info
about their lenses, I have come across information
about a "Hi-End" back that they are marketing. Claims
to work in any 4 X 5 International (Graflok?) back and
provide unusually good 4 x 5 film flatness and
consistent registration. I notice that the image
produced is smaller than usual (more margin around the
edges). Does anyone have any in-use experience with
this system, and ability to comment on its worth?
(2) Is 6.5 X 9 cm. film still available, and if so, in
what emulsions and from which manufacturers? This was
once so popular in Europe that I would think there
should still be some available there. RKS
