Please! I wasn't in the best of spirits when I was at the show & forgot to take notes. I do know it was the show over in Dodge County (Wisc), this past July. The engine mounted on the back is a big Waukesha Six, don't recall the cubes. It was pulling a small rock crusher on the belt.

If anyone's interested, the gear I used was my Zeiss SL706 & I had the three lenses along that came with the kit: Skoparex 3,4 35mm, Ultron 2,8 50mm & the Super Dynarex 4 135mm. The film was a roll of fresh Kodak P3200 shot at 1600. I kind of forgot to develop it until a couple days ago, so that's why the pic is grainy. For those who don't know, high speed films just don't hold up as well as the slow ones. Hence the grain. However, this roll produced some fine images that I'll be posting more of in the next couple days. Lest there be protest.

Not a sterling. There were so many makes back then. Did you ever try shooting color slides with Copy film. That stuff is really strange cause it is ASA 8 or some such. Increadable dense slides but you need to use it outdoors on a stunning bright day. The other crazy film is IR. pink trees. You can buy a digital DSLR that will shoot in IR. So much has changed in just a couple of years. Cameras are using soldstate bubble memories. 500 gig is child's play. One hundred gig images. Crazy just crazy. Look what just hit me between the eyes. I didn't even know. This was available in CF cards but here is micro. Wow. My Nikon is a dinosaur. Imagers have gotten three times better than what film can deliver is what I read. Digital would need to hit 24mp to equal film. Way past that now. The special fluorite glass lenses are just barely good enough.

I appreciate any effort (and it is a substantial) to use film to keep it in play. I don't play with my Micronikor lens on a Knikkomat body much any more because I like color and Kodachrome 25 was my choice. I have shot BW using ortho film outside of a process camera, but not much. I Taught Printing for many years using a process camera like the one in the photo. It had a 36"X36" film capability. (not the one I used, mine had the film plane inside the darkroom, and the bellows and lens in the other room) Jim
