Clearly a lack of testicular fortitude (can I say that here?). Then again, I sold my 500c/m outfit to buy my sinar, keeping only the EL and slowly reacquiring C lenses as found inexpensively.

Wait when you open the box n see this monster. In poundage, you got more than you paid for. The quality of this beast is like no other camera out there. It has some quirks to get use to but that will become rote in no time at all. Once you get the feel of her, you'll never go back.

Spare lenses, spare bodies, spare everything till you have 3 complete outfits n start selling off some of the spares to buy more spares.

RB67 heroine!

gotta have a prism or two, btw. Especiallyat what KEH sells them for.

Then you start the modfying and end up with an RB67 view camera.

After serving for twenty-four years, I declared myself a free agent. I got the two children; the ex got my dog. The dog was really pissed.

I did not get crap for the trade-in of the ex, but the new models are terrific.

Now that I do not have a higher power, when I come home:

I know when to take out the garbage
I am not stupid
I am always right

Junkies, we're all junkies. RB heronie! I wonder if they have a half way house for this obsession, the need to buy more old n broken cameras?

So today the big brown truck showed up with my new (to me) RB and stuff. I'm amazed, I'm ecstatic, I'm RUPTURED from lifting the box.
While waiting I was stricken with an attack of the above mentioned ANAL and bought a 180mm 4.5 and a bellows hood before I even had the camera. D-mn KEH!
HELP! I'm addicted. We need a Betty Ford Center for RB freaks.

Isnt KEH grand Larry!

So, Peter, is it possible to get film for that 70mm "back"?

archphoto · Apr 21, 2009

I don't know, there is a thread out here about 70mm film.... The answer should be yes, maybe, but you will have to look for it.
I spend my money already.... so I stop looking until may 14th when the next paycheck comes in...
