Re: [Rollei] Re: 58mm wide on a Koni

While In school, I couldn't stand using the old Calumets we had for
assignments. So I wound up using my Koni-Omegaflex for my 4x5 assignments.
It was some 20 years before I told the instructor what I had done. He never
could tell the difference. Luckily, I didn't have to provide the negative,
juts a finished print.
