I would love to know what was going through his mind when He sloughed off sheet film. He always used to say he used the heaviest camera he could carry but I suspect buy then he already had a guy carrying his camera for him. The results he got had to be to his liking or he wouldn't have continued. Did his latter roll film work hold up to his previous sheet film work (much of it burnt in a fire). A Basic question that I should not have to ask and should already know by now but don't. Mark Rabiner
