Deardorff is back in sweet home Chicago

[Mike A]

Greetings,
I got this little tid bit off the Midwest Large Format Asylum a great LF'r group.

Jack Deardorff has resumed making view cameras in Valparaiso In. I
learned that he will give a talk on the Deardorff company and show one
of the cameras at the February joint meeting of The Chicago Photographic
Society and Mid-States Imaging and Photographic Association. The meeting
will be held at 7:00 P.M., Tuesday, February 15 at the Hampton Suites on
Old Orchard Road in Skokie.

I have talked to Mr. Deardorff, the above is a quote from my Midwest LF post. He is making cameras from the same parts he had when he closed the company and will be making an 11x14. I am already on the list!!..Evan Clarke

Being female and as pointed out in another thread we tend to go for lighter, I will stick with a Jim Chinn 11x14. I want to support our apuggers who are making items for us luddites.
