dowels are too thick to use with a 4x5 film holder and the back. I use the
cardboard tubes from my wife's tampax.

Thats the one thing that I don't like about the SB cameras, the dowels can
get lost. I'm always dropping at least one of them. As you know the
Leonardo's film holders are attached to the camera. Pluse I
Jeff,
Stick with Leonardo. I own two of them (6 and 1.5) and one Santa
Barbara (3). For the extra $10, its worth it, better construction
and ease of use. The SB's wooden dowels that slide against the film
holders are not attached. For fumblers like me, they fall in the snow
or mud too
