Drop in on the Camera makers mailing list. You'll find quite a few. I still
don't think buidling a 4x5 makes a great deal of sense. The cost and effort
shouldn't be much less then 8x10. If some one is building for the enjoyment
of building that's one thing but to use? 4x5 of every kind are fairly common.
