Stephanie, by the time you've been through a box of .EDU Ultra 100 or .EDU (aka Classic) 400, you may not want to bother with the Efke. I sometimes find myself (with 4x5) having to think why I'd want ISO 100. Then I remember -- sometimes I *want* a longer exposure (for water, for instance), and the slower film gets me two stops.

Soon, soon, I'll find out how well Type 55 negatives look when processed in Parodinal (the film was free, but it expired in 1987)...

Haha, 1987. That's four years after I was born.

Just wanted to show you guys that young people are also interested in large format...not trying to make anyone feel old. Really. I have a camera twice my age, though...I like my cameras the way I like my men: older, well-built, and tough as nails.

So do I. And it's getting fragile with age...

I dont' have any cameras twice my age, but that's because I prefer the faster lenses from the late 1920s on. Sometime, if I get a good deal, I might spring for a Premo or Velo from the turn of the 20th century, since they can use modern 4x5 film...

Wow, if I used a camera 4X my age it could be an artifact once held by Benjamin Franklin!

Twice my age... That would be the 1896 Rochester Camera Manufacturing Co. 4x5 I started this crazy obsession with! Still takes great pictures.

I would have been printing with azo for the first time, at twice my age. Good grief, what a thread. tim

I don't have that problem. My Toyo is only 6 years old - I bought it new.
