Digital BW, The Print

Hi Stan,

That was long enough ago that my memory is pretty fuzzy but I as I remember
he said he was set up to do contact prints on site and therefore could get a
print out before the 35mm crowd could get their prints up.

I used a Zone VI (Wista) 4x5 for many years. Finally sold it when I no
longer had a dark room.

  Yes, but was Fred selling and delivering the prints on the spot to the
  horse's owners/riders? I think not.

  By the way, one of Fred's Zone VI 4x5 field cameras was my second large
  format camera. After the Speed Graphic.
