    Film? It looks way cool just sitting there. Put it up in your office and just look at it.

    By the way...nice photos of you new toy...
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.

    You might check out this site for "Large Format" knowledge and help:

    http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/index.php

    Some wonderful photographers there and a wealth of knowledge on big film cameras. Small site, friendly but serious about film. I hang out there just to see the pictures. I have a complete Linhof 4x5 sitting in a case but that's a whole 'nuther story. bowdown.gif
