Dear Uncle Dick,,
I just had a thought (that's the second today- I am so glad I joined this
group!)

If you are happy with 5x7 why don't you use a 35mmSLR?   I get sharp
handheld 9x6inch prints from my Nikon & zoom using 400 ISO Fuji neg.  If you
use such a camera with 100 ISO on a tripod your results will be very sharp
indeed. It's not quite the thing to say on an LF group but business dear
Uncle is business...Philip
