In 1973, I covered the Ky Derby. Perhaps 20 feet from me, on turn 1, was
a skinny old man with several 4x5 longnose "big Berthas" Because the man
who trained me learned in the late 30s, and he insisted I learn the old
ways, I knew of such machines. Only time I ever saw any in action... and
never since.
I was carrying a Contax D (200mm) and leica IIIA with 90mm Elmar....
I was 19.
(and that day I met my wife to be. I saw this hot young lady carrying a
Canon III... and the rest was history.)
