    Thank You Uncle Dick for the kind words. Truth be told, I have only 
been taking pictures now for about 18 months.

    I have purchased "Using the View Camera" and I already own the 
trilogy of books by some guy named "Adams" which I plan on reading again 
(especially the parts I skipped over about those cameras that look like 
they were made in 1920.. )

    This coming weekend I will be traveling to San Francisco and my 
girlfriend and I are going to rent a 4x5 camera. If it rains, we will 
settle for a 645..

    I had forwarded your replies to her and she thought we should 
definitely take you up on your offer for a beer.

    I told her I was game providing she pays the airfare to Oz.

    She hasn't replied yet.

    Thanks again to all for the help.

    As I stated, I am going to rent this weekend and then when the 
weather turns warmer here in Montreal rent again and if it still appeals 
to me I have been in contact with a Jim from Badger Graphic over a Shen 
Hao..

    But first let's see if I am not insane.

    J
