Not a snowball's chance in Hell. <g> Not counting film or processing I can actually afford to spend from $500 to $1000 a year on gear. I could reasonably imagine $1500-2000, but I'd definitely have to save for it (we carry no consumer debt other than our mortgage). On the other hand, with the new Toyo 45CF available for $559 new, and the abundance of used lenses and graflok backs is putting a serious itch in my credit card. 4x5 sheet film, with the option of 6x6, 6x7, and 6x9 roll film holders is very, very tempting. Heck, the way I've been feeling lately, a Super 23 or a Koni-Omega sounds like a heap of fun. Dan Scott
