Hi.
Having discovered the joys of 8x10 contact printing, as well as the agony of carrying an 40-50lbs around in order to make a maximum of 4 images per outing, I decided to try a 5x7, in the form of a battleship grey Burke and James. I find I am carrying this little monster EVERYWHERE! It folds nicely enough to fit in a small back pack, and is light as a feather compared with my 8x10 Orbit.
Question is, where might I find another? Mine is old, scruffy but works perfectly well. Don't know exactly why, but I find my self wanting a back up, as I finally seem to have found my main format.
I am not particularly interested in the high end, designer type, mega-buck cameras. I want another B&J! Or something similar. Plain. Simple. Sturdy. Functional. Know what I mean? I seemed to have lucked up on this particular flatbed; don't even know what the model name is. But I like. I like a LOT. Contact printing 5x7 negatives is great; enlarging would be great as well. Anybody know where I could get my hands on one of these? (already tried Midwest...no go.) Hope this makes sense.
