OK Guys,

What I really miss is the Crown Graphic 4X5 the US Air Force gave me  
in 1963 and told me to be a photographer. They also gave me the keys  
to the base darkroom and told me I was in charge. The best part of  
that was I had an Omega D2 enlarger. I liked the D2 so much I bought  
one when I got out of the service and also invested in a Calumet view  
camera. Actually I don't miss the cameras as much as I miss the D2.  
After moving to Texas in 1978 I had to give up the darkroom, and the D2.
