[Leica] FS: Big Printer!

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Some years ago I joined a local camera club.  I had just finished a seminar
with Cole Weston, "The Nude in the Landscape".  So what better prints to
show for my introductory meeting, yes?  In retrospect, all they needed was
some crime scene tape.  There were three judges, two male who gave me a 5
out of 5, and one lady (amazing resemblance to Dana Carvey) who thought
these were inappropriate for a "camera club" and assigned zero points.
Thinking back, she had it right though not perhaps for the best reasons.

p.s. I really like my 3880.

I have a garage full of framed prints! You are not alone!!
I bought the 3880 for the apartment. Printing is the performance...
I just joined a camera club that does print competitions every other month,
which is a great incentive to actually print. Fortunately you can just mount
them on a matte with no over matte, or just reuse the same over matte event
if the print size differs. They have been very fair about not judging the
matting but just the print. I like the prod to make me print...
