Thank you, Dick. Besides its sentimental value, It's a great camera.

I rebuilt and fixed them for several years, now I have 2 left, I'm always looking for 120/220 film, outdated or not. I have a darkroom all packed away, loved making 16x20 photos, no room now and at 82 I couldn't do it again!

Fortunately, my film supplier lives about 20 minutes drive from me. He's a very good friend, as well. I purchase pro pack 120 Ilford HP5 from him for 35mm and 120. For 4x5 I use FP4+. I don't print as much anymore but still shoot film on a somewhat regular basis. That is except for times like now where I'm working on a project that doesn't require film. For processing I use either of two Jobo processors. That at least keeps me in touch with my love of film side.

Yes, I'm still a B&W fan, shooting film makes you a better photographer!

Especially if one is shooting large format. I really enjoy the process of setting up the camera, after determining the best vantage point and seeing the photograph prior to putting the camera on the tripod. Everything from that vision on is done to accomplish that vision of the scene.

I would like to do more desert photos, I see your in Tempe, I have a friend in Anthem who is a photog too. I reserved an RV space at Casa Grande Trap Club for the winter but guess I'll cancel it, I'm an avid trapshooter and wanted to shoot trap and take photos but this covid thing makes it difficult!

Dick, if you do make it down here, let me know. I'd love to meet and shoot the breeze about photography.

Thanks for the invite Bob, I probably won't be down there, I'm having cancer surgery in the fall and doubt if I'll be able, hence the canceling of my Casa Grande plans.

You're welcome. I hope all turns out OK for you, Dick. I'll keep good thoughts and prayers going for you.
