    Never bought from them but have had a strange experience with them. They claim to be selling a bunch of Rollei TLR "prototypes" for about eight or nine grand each. To see such an item come out of...

    Andrew, you're too young. Don't push it. You'll get old before you know it.

    You are probably right Mike. We are a limited subset of the species. But who cares? I have not had time to post here but now that I'm officially retired, that may change. I'm also stuck in a...

    Re: A backpack for my brand new Tachihara?

    I took the cheap way out. I went to Goodwill and found the perfect carry-on suitcase with wheels. It's compact, it holds my 4x5 plus a Nikon FM with two short lenses, five darkslides, and other...

  7. Re: It's official! Ink jet prints equal or surpass Eastman's dye transfer prints!

    Doesn't matter if he's right or wrong....inkjet is just about all we have now. So it's all moot anyway. Thank goodness I can still get film. Wonder how long that will last?

  10. Re: Why don't my 4x5 images have that large format snap?

    I sold my Hassy and went back to 4x5 and the Hassy, as good as it is, cannot touch my Chamonix 4x5. I'm using Ektar 100, Fujichrome 50, and some stashed Agfa RSX that I froze several years...

    Re: Chamonix 45-N1 with Teak wood

    I specified teak when I ordered my Chamonix. Teak is widely used in boats and is far more resilient to variations in humidity and temperature than walnut.
