Nice post and also the reasons I like the 6 X 4.5 folders better. The 6X9
chromes are nice but with the film flatness issues etc I get better
results from the smaller negs most of the time, especially when hand
holding the camera and shooting neg film. I've also found the models that
don't use front cell focusing work better for infinity shooting, the front
cell focusing models appear to be optimized for "portrait" distances?

Steph -

You can adjust the focus of those front cell focusing cameras yourself.
There used to be a fair number of websites explaining how to do this, but I
can't find them at the moment. aha - here is one such website. Click on
"focus adjustment."
