Hi Fred,

Well you may be right.  If they aren't buying any big glass anymore, then they sure 
won't sell much.  That is kind of a shame, although I don't own any of those faster 
300/400/500/600's.

In fact, I was quite surprised to hear that you have been collecting them on ths sly. 
<g>  How am I ever gonna catch up if you go off and buy that really expensive stuff!

More seriously, all the praise that the A300/2.8 is getting has been enabling me.  I 
just don't know how to sneak a 4 digit purchase price past the wife.  <g> I've been 
wondering about an old 6x7 too or maybe an old 4x5 Speed Graphic for a really big 
negative.

The issue seems to be darkroom work for larger format, and I don't want to go there.  
In fact, I'm resisting buying slide scanner.  I have found that my Epson 870 (or is it 
780) printer does a really good job if I get the settings right and use the right 
paper.  I have been amazed by the results from a 2K by 3K or even 1K by 1.5K jpeg.  

Bob
