Thanks Markus. Speed Graphics can still be had for a song. They're a
lot of fun.

Subject: Re: Buffer speed (Re: Why choose *ist DL over Nikon or Canon
competitors?)
Thirty years ago I used to shoot drag racing with a Speed Graphic
4x5. Most of the time I would shoot off a tripod, swapping or
flipping film holders between shots. I would reload crouching by
the guardrail with my hands in a changing bag. I did some action
shots as well. Several were published. Here's one that was never
published. That's why I still have the tranny. (Mags were very
bad about returning stuff in those days.) This one is on
Ektachrome Tungsten. I think it was about a one second exposure
at 5.6 or so with a 127mm Wollensak lens.
