Well, I guess everyone is going to have their opinion as to the milestones
in camera history.

I've been a Leicaphile (anybody remember that term?) for over 50 years, but
I would have to rate the Folmer/Graflex 4x5 Press Cameras among the
greatest.  They were the standard for what's now called "Photo Journalism"
for over 50 years.  Yeah, I toted a few of them around back then, but
managed to get a few AP/UP credits, too!
