Feel free to respond off list. :) -gfen (who's refinishing his speed graphic, it would probably draw scorn from someone who'd recognize it as an SG, now, but to a layman it looks like a beautiful antique camera [well, almost, i have to repaint the metal drop bed]) (he also just got an 8 1/2" commercial ektar, and realized the lens sitting and collecting dust is a 4 3/8" WA dagor) (he's quite proud of all these things) -- http://www.infotainment.org "The destructive character is cheerful." - Walter Benjamin - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
