Rolling Hills. Tmax 400. NIkon FA.

Giants, above Walla Walla. TMax 400. Nikon FA.

Pic #2: Forgot to mention the Crown Graphic. I've stripped everything off of it so it's just a light tight 4x5.

I did pay real market prices for the cameras and a couple lenses. But the overall outlay for redundant 4x5 was < $2K.

P.S. - It's all Bill Bowes' fault!

The G.A.S. has bloated my bag! Pic #1, Left to Right: Rodenstock Grandagon N 90mm f/6.8 Nagaoka Seisakusho 4x5 as "Calumet Woodfield" Rodenstock Sironar S 210mm f/5.6 Rodenstock Sironar N 150mm f/5.6 Pic #2: Rodenstock Sironar N 135mm f/5.6 Rodenstock Sironar N 210mm f/5.6 Nikon 300mm M f/9 Rodenstock Grandagon N 65mm f/4.5 Pic #3 Gitzo carbon fiber G1228LVL The $800 Gitzo was found at Goodwill for $4.99. Three of the Rodenstocks (including the "S") came to me New In Box for $300 (net of sell-offs) from a guy who couldn't get anyone to take his collection off his hands. I may be done. One never knows. Today, I went out packed heavy and took 3 shots, each with different lenses as the framing required. I had the lens for each; 65mm, 90mm, 135mm. But, I think this is the end of Acquisition. I may need to spend more energy learning how to be a better photographer now.... I can't think of anything more I want. But maybe some esoteric Sironar S will appear before my eyes some day for a steal of a price. Until then, I think ... I may ... be full up!

(Thanks for bearing with me on the multiple posts. I develop about once a quarter now that I'm a 4x5 slo-mo shooter .....)
