My first photography job was in 1966.
I've shot for years with 4x5's and almost every format that exists. Never claimed to be the best photographer but good enough to make a living from it. A few years ago I bought a Nikon D5100 and have had fun with it.

Thanks!
Our lab had a nitrogen burst system for
developing 4x5 negs. We had a high volumn. It was a Federal agency.
We had an 8x10 but never used it.Our
agence took over a former Navy photo lab.
Ton's on OLD equipment. Ever see a wet cell flash?

Yes, One of my first flashes used a wet cell. I shot mostly landscape with my Deardorff's
