I shoot with my Pentax 6x7 quite a bit when I can find the film!

100% digital. Have a MF and two 35mm film cameras sitting in the closet. Have film I never used. The concept of being restricted to the frames on a roll of film, not being able to chimp to check my settings, and waiting more than a week to get back the slides or negatives is just too daunting. Like churning my own butter.

I have the Beseler 4x5MX in my darkroom … great machine. I also have a 23C with Color Head.

I used to have one exactly like that, along with a Super Graphic and a Wisner Tech 4x5. I "loaned" it to a friend about 15 years ago, along with a Tiltal tripod, a dark cloth, and some film holders. Haven't seen them since. Oh well, saves me having to try to get rid of them now.

Yes, I've written those items off by now, wasn't using it anyway because I was using the Wisner. I have given the Super Graphic to my granddaughter (along with a Rolleiflex and other stuff) and hope to eventually give her the Wisner when she's ready. I'm also slowly donating things from my darkroom to the local community college. Still way a way to go.

"Still got a ways to go" - have you, Jack?

I guess I could do that, too. But, I KNOW that as soon as I did, I would need something!

But, I DO have three enlargers. Tough to use them all at once!
