It never fails when I'm using the 4x5 in a public place (which I try to avoid), someone comes up and asks, "What kind of a camera is that?" Then if I don't want be rude, I have to give them a lenghty explanation, which s ometimes has turned into a mini-workshop. So to quell the curious, I was thinki ng of printing up leaflets I could carry with me and hand out when I get questio ned. They would explain a view camera and compare/contrast it with 35mm medium format. I'd even include a bibliography in case they wanted more info.
Has anyone ever done this? How do y'all handle the questions?
Just wondering.
