What Paul and Bill said. Buy Canadian.:-) I keep thinking i'll sell my 6x7 but just cannot bring my self to do it. We have a lot of snow now, and i do love to shoot winter scene in B&W, maybe i'll just take the 6x7 out for a spin.
Blacks camera is the only place near me that i know of that still can do 120 film and scans. BTW i find it easier to use a light meter the on board one seem to over expose a bit.
