Will I get beaten up if ...

He was probably trying to be funny, there isn't much point to doing it.

[Mike Anderson]

Of course, but never-the-less it is pathetic. It shows total lack of respect to the members here who are actually dedicated to the challenges of making LF photographs and using View Cameras.

It was a joke. It seemed like such an absurd thing to say, it might be funny. Sorry if it offended.

[Leigh]

Unfortunately the scenario is all too plausible.

I suspect some of the shots in the “Safe haven for tiny formats” lounge thread are really LF shots.

Shame, I say.

Shame.

[Frank Petronio]

Well we can't show our units or our trucks/sports cars online so the only way to prove we're more manly than each other is to claim we have bigger cameras.

This thread is kind of embarrassing, showing pictures of our dicks would be more tasteful. Let's see some shots from that Techno and move on!?

[Greg Miller]

Well we can't show our units ...

Well, we can. But thankfully nobody does.

Bu you may be onto something with bigger cameras compensating for other deficiencies

[gliderbee]

Well, I don't drink.

But I think some other members split my ration.

Smoking and sniffing also count !

[Brian Ellis]

Leigh / Brian... You guys need to chill out and have a brew... or two.

Thanks but I quit drinking about 25 years ago. Looking at the quantity of banal nonsense you've posted here in only four months of participation, you might consider doing the same...

[Old-N-Feeble]

Wow... you may be right but that hurt none-the-less.

I keep a Minox in the case with my 5 x 7 Linhof. Just in case I come across something that's too big for LF.

Honestly I think the essence of LF has less to do with the area of the film and more to do with the way we visualize and work with the camera to realize our vision.
