Harrison,
I saw a show of work my Michael Grecco, portraits done with uncoated
lens and one of those 4x5 SLRs, all available light celeb portraits. 
Wonderful effects.  That would be my choice.

I do understand there is someone in the US who has bought up all the
parts he can find and has the stuff to keep the RF working in the
various Graphics.  I wish I still had my father's.  The his film holders
still work fine and I still remember carrying them as a kid when he'd
take me with him on assignments.  I loved looking at all the wires in
the flashbulbs, but my mother used to get so angry with him for burning
holes in his suit coat pockets with the just-used bulbs.
