There is something addicting about sharpness and detail, perhaps a gene that makes one susceptible. Then one taste of Leica negs or slides and you're hooked for life. And it doesn't always start and end w/ Leica. I just found a Graphic View II with Kodak Ektar 203mm f7.7 lens (along with an odd enlarger made by "Belfort" with some kind of gov't or military nameplate - it looks like an Omega 4x5 and has autofocus rails for three lenses - I digress, but has anyone heard of a Belfort enlarger?) Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying it out. The bellows look perfect, and there are so many tilts, swings and swivels that the camera could take a picture of itself. I use Velvia exclusively for M6 landscapes - my "Northcoast" film that captures a zillion shades of green here in the coastal Redwoods and fog country. Velvia in a 4x5 must be awesome! Where do you get it developed? Have fun! Gary
