A few rollfilm cameras have movements that make them as versatile as a sheet film view camera. Rollfilm and instant film backs are available to use in place of a sheetfilm holder on a single-film camera.
[edit] Movements ...
When I was 5, my uncle Al gave me an Ansco cadet—a 120 rollfilm camera with a fixed-focus lens and two modes: “Color' and “Black and White'.
It was the first rollfilm camera with a red window as the exposure number indicator. That was possible since rollfilm was paper-backed. Maybe the red-blindness of early film material was the reason to choose red as the color of that window.
Some folks are so impressed with the resolution of large format film that they use this as a marketing tool. Check out the folks here. Their 9 x 18" rollfilm camera is a modern large-format innovation created from an aerial survey camera.
