Erich,
I have looked at the image on the GG screen and it was quite nice!
Getting 9x12 sheet film and developing it was more than we could handle
at the time.
I am seriously thinking of making an adapter to hold my Nikon F2 at the
focal plane, and shifting it to get the 4 corners and the center. My machine
shop is nowhere like the one in R'd Island, but I will try.
