If these books would of been printed 10 years later, I'm sure we would see a preponderance of V35 instruments. The B8, used by Jerry Uelsmann, is a real sleeper. I'm still sorry I let mine go. What I would really like is a B7, the non auto-out-of-focus model, with a current VC Aristo head on it. You can adjust those Bees at every conceivable point. Once adjusted, even moving the "instrument" won't dis-align it. If I do find a decent B, you're all welcome to my Minolta Color 6x7 free of charge.
