And, he is a noted Leica man. The other articles, unfortunately, are not worth reading. Thank you for the tip on View Camera. My next project will probably be an 8x10. My main reason for not using one in the past was a lack of a darkroom. I think that I can get around this problem by using a changing bag and processor. This does not mean at all that I intend to give up 35mm photography. Quite the contrary.
