71 year-old geezer with 56 years in photography, but with a 30-plus years absence of true LF involvement. I cut my eye teeth on a 3x4 Anniversary Speed when I was named HS yearbook photo editor. This was back in the days of film packs and using those #22 flashbulbs, which were blinding when they accidentally went off in one's eye!. I had a portrait/commercial studio back in the 80s and had a cheap 4x5 which was used for studio portraits only. My love affair with Graphics has continued to this day, as I have a trusty Super Speed and Pacemaker Speed. I have decided to move up to 8x10, so I ordered a V8 from Barry on May 5. IF and when I ever get the camera, I look forward to using it! I welcome any questions and comments and just want to add that I am truly in awe at the breadth of knowledge some of you possess on here. I have subscribed to Steve's magazine for years and am so pleased to see LF alive and well!.......Bob Goldasich....Carterville, Il
