I have been intrigued for some time now with the idea of using a simple 6x17 back for panoramas. The problem is that I use a Chamonix 5x8 view camera. Is there a way to adapt a 6x17 rollfilm holder to fit the 5x8 non-removable Chamonix back? Seems like it ought to be possible, but I don't want to make a very, very expensive mistake. I know it may seem that the easiest answer is to just buy a new 6x17 camera, but I enjoy using the Chamonix and I don't want to take on the added cost and baggage of yet another camera. Ideas? -ED
