I believe Dave G. could post some 5 x 7's also if I'm not mistaken....I do have a Crown with a 90 mm and a 135 mm. I need to get a flash set up I have the starwars flash gun and am thinking about maybe bouncing a flash into it....or getting a bare bulb set up.

A proper hat would also be a nice touch...

Well. if you are like me, you would be watching all your 35mm stuff collect dust as they no longer get any use because the images from the Graphic are just that much nicer.

True, but my Crown was $250 all in. It is in great shape too.

Someone asked me why I would have so many cameras. (And I am not that bad, compared to some) I pointed out their collection of several thousand CD's.

The crown plays a tune I like to listen to once in a while. I like to listen to my 2D the best, for all its bulk and imprecision.... it must be that fat tube sound.

I am thinking my Polaroid 250 Automatic with the ISO 3000 film. However, since that is slightly smaller than 4x5, I don't know if that would be acceptable. My 4x5 camera is near the same dimensions overall, but weighs more than twice that; though it does take a Polaroid 405 back. So is Polaroid ISO 3000 okay, or something more stringent required?

Ciao!

I'm in if my Littman 45 is acceptable? I already have a cool hat!

I'd be up for it with my Speed Graphic, although given my lack of darkroom at the moment, I might have to be bad and use the Polaroid back. I would also need to find a flash from somewhere.

I also lack the right kind of hat... and I don't smoke.

A couple of years ago, a house across the street from me was set on fire by homeless people. I grabbed my Speed Graphic and a Grafmatic and went over. Police were holding regular folks to the opposite side of the street, but I walked right up to the action with the Speed Graphic and was never challenged.

Probably part of the reason is that I spent years as a TV news photographer, so I know how to stay out of the way, but I suspect the Speed made me look like I was supposed to be there. Didn't Weegee say something about that once?

Or maybe they were just afraid to challenge the nut with a 60-year old camera. Anyway it was fun. I'm in.

Speed Graphic on the way. Barrel lens if the FP shutter works, old Tessar if not.

Now where did I put those flashbulbs? And the nifty "lightsabre" flash?

I've got a hat too, and don't mind a good cigar.
