Thanks for sharing this. It has great technical quality. It's fascinating (for me) to see historic photos posted. I hope you can show more. As if I didn't have enough to do organizing my own output from the last 40 years, I have my father's negatives from my childhood and before to deal with. This includes WWII negatives from Army Air Force photo recon service in New Guinea, Australia, and the U.S., photos of the Miss America parade in 1944, damage from a hurricane in Atlantic City (I think), and daily goings on at the optometric college he attended on the GI Bill. Most of these, and my family pictures, were taken on film packs with a Voigtlander Bergheil 6x9 w. 105mm f/4.5 Heliar that I still use on occasion. This camera was a real workhorse.
