Thanks for all the info on the A16 backs, wow you guys have diverse opinions
and taste but that is what is great about The List. I bought a slightly used
one for 90 bucks US thanks again for the advice. Did anyone try the link to see
my picture I posted, just wondered if it worked. Thanks James

I can recommend shooting slide film, if only for the experience
of seeing those big chromes (I shot mine with an A12) on the
light table. I would probably(I did not try) less enjoy 4x4 chromes,
as they are too close to 35mm chromes. The "awe effect" simply
kicked in for me on the A12 chromes. YMMV and all that.

A16 non-S also gives me that :)

OK, I appreciate that idea.

Do you have grid screen in your HB?

Well, I said it is good for spare parts. I did not say it is *only* good for
spare parts. I plan to have mine converted to a plain A16 by the way. I just
want to have an extra A16 (I currently have only 1).
My reasoning: I am a wide-angle addict, so I do not want a smaller negative.
I want my 50 and 40mm to give me my beloved wide angle view. Again, YMMV,
I found your A16S use-case interesting to read.

Yeah...
