  1. <p>I do not understand the why some of you bad mouth the crop frame cameras.</p>

    <p>When I was shooting professional, 35mm (full frame)was used and when I had a job that requires close quarters and quality was not paramont and sports assignments.</p>

    <p>4 X 5 format was used for quality.</p>

    <p>2 1/4 was used as a comprise.</p>

    <p>You use what you have to get what you want.</p>

    <p>After all PhotoShop cures a lot of errors.</p>

    <p>I wish I had PhotoShop when I was shooting.</p>

    <p>Darkroom work was a real pain.</p>

  2. <p>I have a fairly complete collection of Exakta cameras and lenses.<br /> My current project is restoring a Minolta XG7.<br /> I have a film Canon to use with the lenses that go with my 350D.<br /> A 2 1/4 3 1/4 Century Graflic with a RH10 film back.<br /> I get around to use most of them once in a while when I have the time.<br /> My problem is that every once in while a something comes up that I can not refuse.</p>
  3. <p>When your toes are on the sidelines and chasing the action, nothing is more thrilling.</p>

    <p>This was in the 60's. a step up from tth 4x5 Graphic.</p>

    <p>I used to shoot from behind the first base coach when the Pitsburg was training in Fort Myers.</p>

    <p>One of our other photogs was there and caught a foul ball on the inside of his right leg.</p>

    <p>It left the imprint of the ball on his leg.</p>

  4. <p>Having been a news photographer, I find that most of the photos are dull.</p>

    <p>We were trained to antacipate the peak of the action.</p>

    <p>I covered three high school football games with a Rollei and a 12 exposure roll of TriX film.</p>

    <p>Multiple exposures will miss the peak.</p>

    <p>It only takes one shot to get the peak of action.</p>
