LF Workshop in Texas ?

[Paul Droluk]

Scott, I'm sorry to report that the Dmax effort has deteriorated to the point where its cancellation is imminent. After a last ditch appeal for 10 advanced orders, we only garnered 4 bona-fide commitments and a handful of maybes.

It's not simply the camera itself... if we were to produce the Dmax, we would have to manufacture a large inventory of Cone Assemblies and allied components, in order to drive production costs down to the required level, and properly support the camera.

Closest we currently come to a Dmax, is our 69S camera, which I will be bringing to the upcoming gathering.

I'm pretty sure me and my lil' 8x10 can be there Feb.21.

[Lee Crump]

I'd like to make an event like this but I'll be in Salado TX. Feb. 21st. I'll keep my eye out for further events.

[Valerie]

Has a time been set yet? Trying to juggle my schedule for that day......

[clay harmon]

Valerie, what time works best for you? My original thought was starting early in the day to get some 'long' light, but I am pretty flexible. What times are best for all the other potential attendees?

[Valerie]

Early is good for me.........

[wclavey]

I like early, too, but I'm willing to set aside whatever part of the day people can be available...

I just spoke to my son, and I can add his Crown Graphic to the list of available cameras, too, in case there are people who want to attend and learn but do not have a camera... that brings the number I can provide to 3: the Shen Hao and 2 Crowns, all with tripods, and lenses, of course. The Crowns aren't "real" 4x5s but they will give people a sense for it...

[Paul Droluk]

I'm up for early as well, but anytime that day would be fine.

And if someone has an extra tripod (or 2, or 3, or 4), I have 3 Toyo 45CX's that I could bring along, each with a different focal length lens. I also have an angle viewer to mate to one. So if we can gather some additional tripods, I can bring a total of (5) 4x5's.

[Robert Fisher]

Paul, I am looking forward to meeting you (and others).

Especially your new 69S.

May I bring some 120 and shoot a roll or two??

[clay harmon]

I can bring two tripods and of course, some cameras and lenses. I will bring some brass soft focus lenses too.
