I'd also noticed that you're shooting a lot with the Autocord. Did you just get it? I have an ancient Rolleiflex Automat from 1938 that has uncoated lenses. It needs the shutter overhauled, so I don't use it anymore. I love the TLR though. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 4/22/12 1:10 AM, "Jim Shulman" <jshulman at judgecrater.com> wrote: >Thanks, Gerry.
