If someone on this site is rude or inappropriate I recommend ignoring them. Comments just give them notoriety.

It's a word that has been used and abused so much that it has lost its credibility. What's a professional grade pick-up truck?
Do you still have CS5?
If so open Bridge 5 then load your files there.
Buy a case.
Check with your agent to see if it's insured while on vacation, including on the plane.
If not purchase a floater policy for that Hassy H5-60.
There's only one answer to this debacle; don't go.
The camera is designated No.2 which is Kodak code for 120 film. It is a 6x9 and will take 8 pictures on a roll.
The 100 year old camera is a Kodak No. 2 folding Pocket Brownie Model B I purchased in like new condition at a camera flea market for $20.
It sports a single element lens and light tight red bellows.
Amazingly everything still works like new, uses 120 film and takes very unique pictures. I am sure they were very special in 1917.
I enjoy these threads.
They serve as a reminder to all of us the value of film cameras.
If maintained they perform the same as the day they were made 20+ years ago.
I even have a few over 100 years old that still work perfectly.
Years ago (pre stabilization) I happened upon a photographer using an unusual technique to steady his camera.
He grabbed his right arm, just at the shoulder with his left hand, then raised his elbow near chin height. He then laid the camera/lens on his arm near the elbow for stabilization.
Looked about as goofy as it sounds, but to this day I use the technique and it works great.
I belong to a Meet-Up group in Seattle titled the "Seattle Film Photographers".
We meet every Saturday morning at various locations (usually locally owned coffee shops).
After coffee many of us venture into the streets of Seattle and look for interesting street photography opportunities.
I would guess the group is evenly divided between the older generation and younger enthusiasts in their 20s.
Most develop their own film and half scan vs enlarge or contact print.
