[LargeFormat] C-Claron 190mm f4.5 - Paperweight?

[philip lambert]

Can you get rollfilm backs to fit quarterplate Graphics (I assume you meant
3 1/4x 4 1/4) and if it doesn't have pixels how can it be any good?
I'm just in the middle of importing an Arca 6x9 monorail from Germany.  It
looks like a small version of my 1970s Arca 5x4 so more portable; the
possibility of finding a bag bellows is remote and I shall have to make one.
A friend has offered to send me some soft black leather and no doubt I can
make the frames out of layers of plywood cut to receive the retaining
catches/clips.
