I'm tempted to buy an old press camera, but figure I might want the swings and tilts before long. (My very first "serious" camera as a kid was a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 Miniature Speed Graphic -- I loved it). Any suggestions? I'd like a camera I can "grow" with. Once I've acquired my new large format gear I'll certainly revisit Steamtown...and I've got tons of other subjects in mind, too. I'm now anxious to get started. And you're right -- the relaxed pace of careful setup and composition is very therapeutic. Thanks for the encouragement. Craig Washington, DC
