It’s very helpful, Steven. Good to learn.
Thank you!
Many thanks.....he commented not long ago on my self made sliding box camera (https://flic.kr/p/2menMwZ); he's a really experienced craftsman (woodworker and machinist on the lathe) himself
Hello, Ron! What a coincidence!
You guys are in Europe so tell us when you visit his atelier someday about his camera work and impressive lens collection!!!
Dear Ron and Steven, Mr. Corrado mailed me the new book is published and I have ordred the book just now.
Ivan Rose is the coauthor, who implied the new publication when I contacted him last time!
There should be some answers to the serial number dating of Andrew Ross period.
