Assuming you are using the same film brand/speed B&W film and developer combination, would there be any problems testing out a film in a smaller size to establish an effective film speed and then using it on a larger format? For instance, my whole plate camera has holders that can be adapted from 3.25 x 4.25, 4x5 and 5x7 in addition to whole plate. If I chose a film brand/speed that is available several of these sizes and use the same processing method with the same developer, can I test... Read more ..read more

A recent medical scare has finally convinced me that it's time to shed weight, both my own and that of my equipment, so I'm going to be offering up a variety of my larger, heavier gear over the next few months. I got this very nice Repro-Claron in a barrel and put it into a Compound III-7 shutter that previously housed a 240mm Convertible Symmar; the cells fit the shutter with no modification.
