Burkhardt,
I saw the 20X24 camera on the Lotus website
<http://www.lotusviewcamera.at/lovica_20x24_e.html>, what an awesome
machine!
Although, I found the article about the plastic liner for the Jobo drum,
there were no photographs accompanying it. Do you recall how thick and what
type of plastic worked for you?
Thanks, Neal
