Re: [APML] Meade Schmidt; was: High Res M31

Hi Jason:
Ah yes, I see a small door next to your arm just above the two young Wares!
It's amazing that the focal plane is flat enough for 6x7 negs. Is the film
held in a curved plane somehow? Is there a filter holder just in front of
the film?
Thanks,
Bert
