I've been using a converted Lubitel camera for my studio based zone plate work. I like the camera, but its layout is causing me some trouble. It's great having a viewing lens, but the placement of the viewfinder on top is inconvenient given my lighting set-ups. I often find myself check to

Zernike, I have two questions about your cameras. 1) Does the Polaroid 545i back work with the 4x5 camera? 2) How does the new Zero 2000 differ from the original? Is the name plate inside or outside? Larger/clearer red window? Other? Best of luck on the Silver Gem issue. Thanks, Tom
