I've got a Speed Graphic, too, with a super sharp 15 cm f/3.5 Tessar. My other favorite, large old lens is my 9" f/4 Wollensak Verito that I use on the ca. 1909 4x5 RB Graflex that I added X-synch to, so I can use studio strobes with it. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Portraits/Francisco_AMR.jpg.html> I hope I'll always be able to process B&W film. To me, it's the essence of photography, and I don't want to give it up.
