    Re: Century No. 7

    Thanks, Randy. The lens seems ok, although the band that holds the metal lens cap got wrecked. The rest of the lens seems ok, but only time will tell.

    Century No. 7

    Yesterday, I cleaned out my office at UW Fox Valley. That led to my bringing my Agfa/Ansco studio stand home. I put my Kodak Century No. 7 camera on it. I'd like to do some portraits with 8x10...
