Digital BW, The Print

Hi All,

Well after all the most helpful and informative
posts, I just purchased a used Mamiya RB 67 with
two lenses at a most reasonable price. The 
Mamiya 7 is just way too highly priced as are its
lenses for someone not profiting from his photo
hobby. If I can seem to comfortably manage the
size of this, I probably will transition to
4x5 in the future.

An aside : I have several dozen 4x5 glass plate
negatives taken by my grandfather over a twenty 
year period from 1899 - 1919. Each one was in
an envelope, marked with settings, date, subject,
and serially numbered. I hand selected these
from long wooden boxes of his negatives - I just
realized the numbers start in the teens in 1900 and
top out at about 530 in 1919. That was a Lot of Work !

Many are not just family portraits and I am scanning
and printing some very interesting material.

Best,
Alex
