Or an Akubra for an Aussie ....

Bookmarked that for the next time I buy a hat. Thanx mate.

A fedora is required head gear for a Crown or Speed Graphic. Don't go out without one. I wear a fedora when I am packing my Speed.

That must be what I'm doing wrong - I wear a Trilby! Would perhaps a MPP work better with a Trilby, you think?

A "Harold Adrian Russell 'Kim' Philby" hat! Isn't that what spies wear in the UK?

It's not the camera attracting attention, it's the hat.

I have the Khaki Territory model (even though I'm American).

Akurbras are great, I have a Territory too but it's tan.

Well Trilby is just the British verson of a fedora...but with a shorter brim...so with an MPP it should work. You could got straight for the bowler hat and avoid any problems
Trilby vs Fedora, MPP vs Speed Graphic?? May be that sums up the difference between the States and the UK in the 1960s?

I heard Ansel Adams was better than most photographers at marketing himself and creating a brand for himself. I wonder if that marketing/branding was more effective within U.S. than outside U.S.

Adams actually wasn't particularly good at marketing himself and creating a brand for himself. To the extent that those things were accomplished, they weren't accomplished by Adams but rather by William Turnage after Turnage started managing Adams' career in the 1970s.

G'day from down under , Hell we are Red,White & Blue as well , The reason i participate in this forum is LF photography is not big in Western Australia , And as a relitive newcomer to this format 5 years or so i have learnt a lot from the discussion and the helpful people on this forum which would not be possible here . Cheers Gary

My apologies to the Scots, Irish and Welsh who may have found offense.

And the English who might take offence at your spelling of offence!
