Subject: Thought for the day...

with the end of the month coming it is time to 'exercise' 'the gang'
which consists of several M bodies, a bunch of other cameras and lenses
for 4 X 5.

i just wanted to plant that thought with all you collectors out there
that i may buy from as a user one day - as it is very important to do to
keep your lubes working, shutter speeds accurate (fire off a couple of
times at each and every speed) and film transport working.

an old repairman got me in this once a month habit a long time ago and
have never had any trouble with shutters, (things getting stolen - yes)
probably because of this.

now, what new film to experiment with on this fine spring morn...any b&w
suggestions for rich mid-tones at about 100 - 200 asa? Developer?  How's
Agfa's stuff these days?  am trying the cl 40 on a 3...want to check it
out at 16x20".

rgrds,
steven blutter.
