Yes indeed Simon.
I still have the 8x10 Deardorf, 3 4x5 Linhofs and the Cambo Ultima.
I just need to open enough of the darkroom (now packed full storage  
area)
to reinstall a small sink to handle a few 8x10 trays.
Will I?
Part of me really wants to.
The other part just keeps shooting digital.

George Lottermoser
