I am Soooooooo Happyyyyyyyyyyy having just received my V-8 in the mail today. It is old, it is well used, and in need of new bellows or at the least a temporary patch job, BUT...........it is so exciting. I had previously purchased an extension box with a packard shutter and now have the V-8 to go with it. It not only has the 8x10 back (although missing the ground glass), but a 4x5 back too! This is actually my 3rd 8x10, (a Korona & a Kodak 2D 8x10 w/ 4x5, 5x7 & 8x10 backs)but it is truly the one which has brought a big smile to my face. OH NO! The Boss/Better Half has just walked in and she has told me my "extra" and nonessential LF "goodies" which have been acquired over the last 2+ years must go to off set the expenses of this addiction. Oh, so true, but LF rehab is cheaper than other alternatives! Keep an eye on APUG classified ads! Take care all! I truly have enjoyed my learning curve, albeit expensive, on this forum and hope it continues for many years to come! LONG LIVE FILM!
