    Hi Peter,

    You won't be needing your 12x20 then. Can I steal it from you?

    Oh my D 8x20?

    Nah, I'll keep it. Can you imagine 24"x60" printed in 360DPI having only 3x enlargements? I see it right in from of me!

    Nope. The 12x20 will do just fine, thanks.

    I don't have a real good steal story. But a friend of mine recently picked up a 11X14 Korona wooden field camera in great shape with extension back and four holders for $125. That turned me green with envy.

    The only drawback is you can't put too many pictures on the wall

    Not a big steal, but a nice surprise, a huge Spanish exhibition catalogue for a show of Goya's work, tiny bit of wrinkling on the pages from damp I guess - £1.50 in the charity shop. (Book is "Goya, Personajes y rostros" 9788489860179)
