but tracking hasn't shown anything for 4 days which is making me nervous.
I admit I am a P67II cult member - starting back in 2001 or so when I bought my system. I just love it. It has only one major fault in that it has no interchangeable back like my RBs, but a lot less weight, a superb AE finder, excellent glass, solid build, and handles like an oversized 35mm SLR (a Texas SLR), etc. Otherwise, it's a wonderful 6x7 SLR.

We're way off topic now, but I totally agree. I am consistently impressed with the quality of pictures from my 6x7.
I understand the fascination with the P67, they are wonderful cameras, but I don't understand the fascination with the 105/2.4. It's roughly equivalent to a 50/1.4 on 135 film, a standard lens and was the cheapest lens in the line-up. For portraits I prefer either the 165/2.8 or later 200/4, for a standard lens I prefer a 90/2.8.
It seems to be lost in the mail
at the time I was ready to burst a blood vessel.
I had to file an investigation with USPS on my P67II camera. It seems to be lost in the mail
I've encountered a lot of photographers on different forums that explicitly state that they only shoot wide open, and never stop their lens down at all.
Unless someone is very intentional and knows what they're doing, this strikes me as immature (not as a person, but rather in terms of picture making)
Unless someone is very intentional and knows what they're doing, this strikes me as immature (not as a person, but rather in terms of picture making). I make a lot of wide-open and nearly so pictures, but I also like to stop down a lot (using a tripod much of the time). To use only one end of the spectrum seems short-sighted, in more ways than one.
This is the stuff from the D crowd who have jumped into the latest trendy fad - to demonstrate their innovation and artistic uniqueness. It's the caveman discoverers fire syndrome.some of the obsession over it, given the current obsession with shallow depth of field and 'bokeh.'

I have a more nuanced response to the fandom of shallow depth of field photography.
For anyone who comes from using a cel phone for most of their photography, the discovery that shallow depth of field is a revelation.

I dunno...I find it hard to take you seriously after your latest claptrap in the Rose and Driftwood thread.Of course if all of you had listened to me ten years ago when I pointed out that the Hasselblad prices then were the steal of two millennia and that all of you should run out and buy MF equipment, you would already have all the MF equipment you ever wanted. All of you blew me off chastising me for wasting money on Stop Bath with Indicator, as I scurried around buy every Hasselblad item in the known world.
Okay, that’s pretty funny. I use Kodak Indicator Stop Bath too. I did scurry around and buy a lot of great MF gear in the last decade, Hasselblad included. I ended up with everything I ever wanted. I didn’t expect prices to go up the way they have been lately- but it doesn’t really affect me because I’ll never sell any of it, my kids will. Didn’t know how lucky I was. My wife stays out of my equipment room thank goodness, so I’m still married.Of course if all of you had listened to me ten years ago when I pointed out that the Hasselblad prices then were the steal of two millennia and that all of you should run out and buy MF equipment, you would already have all the MF equipment you ever wanted.

I've frequently thought about moving out of the city for a property where I can have a few donkeys or llamas, but I'm wondering if I could train a few goats to carry small packs... They can double as lawn mowers and automatic fertilizer dispensers slightly better than donkeys I imagine.
