I've gotten influenced by the excitement in their work of LUGNUTS Byron Rakitzis as well as Richard Wassermann.. ....in their exploits with portable 4x5 and all that is involved. The glass options are amazing with primo Schneider, Rodenstock, Nikkor Glass at half the price of what I've gotten used to spending on Leica glass. (but mainly the results) 2. July is scan month for me going through my entire body of work to result in a new portfolio and scanning some of my not very many 4x5 negs on my Umax PowerLook III has been a revelation! I've been remastered! :) The results are very visible and impressive out of my Epson 1200 and 750 inkjetters. (Next get my 4x5 act together in the wet world!) Mark Rabiner
