I'll second that.

Danny, you have some really nice images on your site.

Well done!

Best Regards,

  Hello Danny,
  Thanks.

  The Mamiya RB67s are priced reasonably low on Ebay.
  I can test the waters of this format without committing
  nearly that a Mamiya 7 + extra lens would cost. If I
  can manage to lug this thing around, a wood 4x5 field
  camera will be a cinch !

  I've bookmarked you website - nice collection ( especially
  the BWs )

  Best,
  Alex
