I keep my speed graphic in a case to keep the dust off, but I don't think
I will ever be able to afford the 4X5 film for it.  I havent even had a
chance to put my darkroom back together, with all the AC building.  Maybe
someday I will get my 645s back out (I wonder if they still work) or at
least a 35.

Best Wishes Bob,
Joe
