ben_calwell Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 To celebrate the first annual Large Format Appreciation Day (April 1), all major manufacturers of view cameras are sponsoring the "Why I Like View Cameras" essay project. On a 4x5 inch index card simply write down why you like view cameras, and then send it in to the camera manufacturer of your choice. Spelling and puncuation are not important. In return, you will receive the view camera of your choice absolutely free, with a complimentary accessory of your choice. The deadline for submissions is Oct. 1. (If only this could be true.)

jim_galli4 Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Hi Ben, No need to write! Since several of the current View Camera builders have seen my 32kb J-Pegs right here on Photo.net the phone has been ringing off the hook with various manufacturers trying to give me their products for free! And the folks at View Camera magazine, and B&W magazine are making nuisances of themselves begging for submissions. And whatever will I do with that pallet of Forte paper that showed up? And all that film from Bergger?? Ô¿Ô Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bro_monk Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Ben, It is true! I sent a 4x5 index card to Wisner and they gave me a new 16x20 camera built out of Brazilian rosewood! It is so beautiful I'm afraid to take it out into the woods! They even included 5 16x20 film holders! George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_calwell Posted April 1, 2003 Author Share Posted April 1, 2003 George, I've got two index cards on the way to Canham; one for a 5x7, the other for their new lightweight 8x10. Can't wait till they arrive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
