Those are very good photgraphs! That's a seriously nice lens! I hope my 1953 version is as good. I hope my vision is half as good. I have seriously procrastinated using my Graphic & Ektar. I must shoot 4x5!

Thanks, Wayne, Doug and Rick - I need all the encouragement I can get!
Sitemistic - I'm interested in your using the camera as a field camera, but with roll film. Now I'm a total novice in this area - what does "field camera" imply? In the little reading I've done so far this makes me think of a camera used in a very deliberate and considered way, with tripod, and probably using movements to control the plane of focus to achieve a deliberately planned image result. That also seems to imply using sheet film, to get the biggest possible negative to play with/on. Yet you are choosing roll film - why?
Any I think you are right - I will enjoy learning how to use this camera. Already I love its brutal simplicity and the fact that it does none of the thinking for me. Cheers!

Not only will it not think for you, it will bite you on the arse if you forget to do everything in the correct sequence. That's half the fun.
