    lol, I was a Mamiya RB67 user. I used to think people didn't buy square(6x6) photos.

    never could afford Hassy......nice observation Alfred

    Looked at them at B and H. The lenses almost matched the price of the camera body!

    Oh yeah. Memory lane. I had a Rolleiflex and a Graflex Speed Graphic. My first SLR was a Topcon Super D, the first camera to have TTL metering by most accounts. How did we ever live without histograms? :D

    There are a couple of these sitting on the moon, should you ever be in the neighborhood! :D

    The memories of this and film and 4x5 processing, etc. Give me a 8gig disk and free photography! Can't afford to go back to lab processing of all images taken. But as others have said ... Thanks for the memories. ;)

    Those Hassies were too rich for my blood. I used my trusty old Pentax 6x7 tank. I pull it out once and awhile and still shoot a roll through it. All ten exposures! I still love the anticipation of dropping a strip of transparencies onto the light table.

    God bless,

    Chris

    Cool image Alfred and even cooler to have seen this being used just last year. I can image the memories it brought back !!!

    I used a Mamiya 67 for a while too, and my friend has a Hassy in an underwater housing that he occasionally dusts off.

    Great capture of an era gone by Al.
