Bill,
Thank you for taking the time to write out what I consider the rationale useful in making the printer decision. I feel I can justify making a number of large prints if the image quality is 'tops'.
Welcome to this forum. We expect more of your thoughtful contributions. Jim
I'm about to buy a 17 wide Epson printer. The big difference between a 3880 and a 4900, besides dollar cost, is that the 4900 has a different print head with 12 vs 10 inks and can use roll media. It also weighs 115 lbs vs 43 of the 3880. Is the 'fine art'print image quality really better? Any other comments? Jim
I have a model 1000F Hasselblad sitting on a shelf and recently saw an ad for a digital back for recent film model Hassies. Exciting but the price is about 100 times what I paid for that wonderful camera back in May 1956. Jim
Mr. Bill: Best soccer shot yet! Inspiring!

Thank you Geoff,
That 'quote' was close to a line by Coleridge in "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner".
including the old tree is a good, but uncommon touch.
In 1956, I bought a Hasselblad 1000F for about $350 with magnifying view finder. I still have it, but would sell!

John Parducci tried to publicize Mendocino with his product. I supported him all I could!
David,
Thank you for this note and the pictures. As a student of the American Civil War, this was of great interest. I hope that someday I can visit this impressive monument.

dpullam: Thank you. Pigeonholing people based on one comment can cause serious problems. Rufus Jim
A cloud with that appearance, lenticular, is formed by wind moving moist air up over the top which cools it. Generally, the cloud is constantly losing some of its fog on the down wind, or lee side, while it is being added to on windward side. I can occasionally watch this action on 'our' big hill, Mt Rainier, which is just over 14000 feet.
Scott, Very good in every way.
