The photos in the magazine were very nice and I'm guessing actual prints would really be a sight. There's nothing like 4x5 -- the mother of all full frames. Or maybe it's just the daughter since there are bigger formats still. I need to take my Toyo 45A out for a spin. It's been sitting for a while. I hope the battery isn't dead. :-) DaveR -----Original Message----- From: Leonard Taupier [mailto:len-1@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 8:32 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Cameras I miss but don't miss...most OK Guys, What I really miss is the Crown Graphic 4X5 the US Air Force gave me in 1963 and told me to be a photographer. They also gave me the keys to the base darkroom and told me I was in charge. The best part of that was I had an Omega D2 enlarger. I liked the D2 so much I bought one when I got out of the service and also invested in a Calumet view camera. Actually I don't miss the cameras as much as I miss the D2. After moving to Texas in 1978 I had to give up the darkroom, and the D2.
