Well if they’ll send me their 1948 catalog as the ad offers, maybe I can finally afford a high end camera. Or would it likely be a model with a hand-held magnesium powder flash attachment?

Maybe you can find something decent here.

Hey the $22 remote flash looks pretty good. I suppose I might have to find replacement vacuum tubes for the camera transmitter and flash receiver, though.

Small price to pay...

I wouldn't mind getting a Norwood Director meter at that price. The Sekonic successor today is almost a full $200 more. (Lovely ambient light meters, BTW - if I still used one I'd have kept mine, but I only have a flash meter now for the few occasions where I think balancing multiple flashes is important.)

No Nikon, no Canon, no Pentax, no Minolta, no Olympus. How did anyone manage to take good pictures?

Rolleiflex and Leica maybe? Or whatever it was Ansel Adams hauled around in his car - he got some good ones from time to time. ;-)

He shot a lot of, I believe, mostly large format.

Edgerton's flash, the precursor of modern speed lights, was invented in the early '30s. I had an electronic flash in the mid '50s to replace a bag full of flashbulbs. The magnesium powder was probably long gone by WWII.

There used be a shop here in the Baltimore area named Coppers. They had a 90 day same as cash policy. Very convent.
