Digital BW, The Print

Martin,  

It may be a long wait...I'm not sure that Nikon and Canon have ever heard of
a 4x5 camera...besides why would anyone want to shoot with something that
clunky when you could shoot with a light weight (I must not be talking about
my D1 here), ergonomically designed camera with interchangable lens.  Seems
like more than about 32meg would just be a waste even for the "big-minded"
of us...but we'll see.

Robert

PS  Yes, I know you were kidding!  Don't you need to be at home
depot...reporting for your shift?
