Good Day all...
I've acquired a beautiful new 8x20 camera but I just don't like the acrylic GG suplied. It has the hottest of hot spots with almost total darkness surrounding and moving my head from side to side distracts me, makes me light headed (it's a heavy thing to move around) and is a nuisance. So....does anyone know where I can buy a GOOD quality GLASS GG? I tried Ritter and he says he now uses acrylic since he doesn't have a reliable source for glass. I also asked him if he knew who supplied Dick Phillips, as those were excellent, and he says they no longer are around either. Man this is getting depressing! Yesterday I went to the two biggest remaining photo stores (now digi stores) in Toronto and couldn't find any Rodinal© and also discovered that their darkroom sections were now postage stamp sized. In one store I asked where their used LF lenses were (they used to have tons) and the guy just looked at me as if Timothy O'Sullivan had just walked in with his donkey, asking for glass plates. I asked him if any store in Toronto had used LF lenses and he just gave me a creepy, supercilious, mocking sneer. This was a truly amazing look and should be tried in private in front of a mirror. I was going to show him what "I" liked of digital and got the correct finger ready on my right hand but managed to restrain myself. I muttered something about hoping that micro black holes had not escaped from Switzerland and were sucking up parts of peoples' brains and left. Sorry about the rant. Now where was I? Oh yes, supplier of GOOD GG?
Today is the last day of your life prior to now...
