Michael Alpert,
It has always amazed me how the asking of the most innocuous of questions to this forum can, at times, stir so much emotion. Sometimes even anger.
I read the many and varied responses from interested, knowledgeable, and informed contributors. I have thought to myself that this is why I love this forum.
One who responded is, I think he had said, an engineer who runs his own company and seems to have a lot of experience in LF. Another publishes a magazine dedicated to LF photography. Another has articles in the above magazine, it seems, almost every issue. And he, like the others, appears to be an accomplished photographer.
I learned that Mr. Wisner is doing a workshop, that his site was updated the past week, and that Eric Rose is "tired."
From two contributors I learned a who lot about the LF market in general and about some specific manufacturers' planned offerings. I was thrilled to learn that there was so much going on with the 7x17 format, my own format of choice.
I mean, for a guy who is enthralled with LF photography and wants to learn all he can about all aspects of it, can you blame me for posing my questions here? I start a thread, and in less than 24 hours there magically appear comments and answers from a small crowd of really saavy folks.
My fourth grade teacher used to tell us there was no silly question.
