I've only ever even touched a few 4x5s and never actually shot with one. 
  I'll take this opportunity to ask how standard are 4x5 film holders? 
Do they all meet the same specification for outside dimensions and 
distance to film from front and back edges such that film plane distance 
is the same as the ground glass?  Sorry, I'm almost clueless in this area.
