Big Bertha's new john says Hello!
Hi gang!
Some of you know me as Discpad from over at Graflex dot Org... I refurbish Speed & Crown Graphics (I have seven of them), turning the Speeds into the David Burnett Combo. Earllier this week, I put a deposit on a Big Bertha with a 40 inch f/8 lens. Since Bertha is a woman, and I have to pump some money into her for a boob job, err a new pair of bellows... Does that make me a john?  Cheers! Dan in Sayreville, New Jersey PS: Visit my Home Page for a Really Good Laugh  |

Re: Big Bertha's new john says Hello!
David tells me he gets 0.0004% of every one of your conversions. True? Grin.
Congratulations on the Big Bertha. I'm working on putting a 24" on my Graflex. It will be a two tripod rig. http://www.walterpcalahan.com/Cheers...1BFD94960.html Last edited by Walter Calahan : 27-Dec-2007 at 23:08. |

Re: Big Bertha's new john says Hello!
Hey Dan, we talked at P.net on a couple occasions. You'll fit in here real fine.
(I still need some software for my ProPallatte 7000).

Re: Big Bertha's new john says Hello!
Welcome. And I'm jealous of the BB. I've toyed with getting one, but living in Hoboken 5th floor walk-up and without a car kind of negates the thrill.

Re: Big Bertha's new john says Hello!
The hard part of getting a Big Bertha is finding one: Lens & Repro won't rent theirs out; and Jeff Hirsch has seven of them, including the one in his window at Fotocare.
These are even more rare than Circut panorama cameras. Quote:

<--- PS: That's one of our chinchillas to the left
Thanks! And Yes, she probably weighs more than your 12x20... She crosses the scales at about 70 pounds. Quote:

Re: Big Bertha's new john says Hello!
She doesn't look like the other Big Berthas I've seen. She looks a bit more kit-bashed. not that I'm still not jealous . . .
