I used go to San Francisco to cover anti-war demos, over the event in  
Iraq.
I'd be loaded for bear with Leicas or Rolleis.
I would always bump into a gentleman with an 8x10 Arca-Swiss F-line.
He stayed on the sidelines, and would ask folks, discreetly, if they  
were willing to be photographed.
Most said yes, and he'd run two sheets of film per sitter.
It was a wonder to see it.
S.d.
