Tim:
yeah sorry I didnt think that through all the way until I posted it.
I shoot 4x5, 120, 127 and 35mm myself. Mostly 35mm and 120 though I plan on
shooting more 4x5 this summer. Not sure why everyone says film is dead as I
shoot more film now than I ever have.
Derek

Except ... I shoot 4x4 and 120, not 35mm (or very little, anyway)...
