Typically, yes. However, the Baby Graflex is a LF camera for 2 1/4" x 3 3/4" (approx. 57mm x 76mm), which is most certainly in MF territory. LF cameras are probably better characterized as using sheet film or film plates rather than roll film. But then again, rollfilm adapters are available for Graflex backs ... I haven't used my LF gear in years. (I know I still have it, as I just moved it from a closet to under the desk so that I can get to the attic access.) LF seems like nostalia now. If I want something wide, I just stitch some 10D exposures together into a panorama, and I'm making money with the 10D not the Toyo 45 ... Lars -- .~.
