   Hi. I've uploaded a picture I took from almost this exact spot in 1972. I think it's not that bad. I sometimes post pictures taken with lenses from the 1960s, attached to a digital camera. People who object probably weren't alive when the gear was built. Do you have any pictures taken with a goertz dagor, by the way?

   Yes, it's more of a request than a command :). No, I don't know the Dagor. I just googled it and it's for plate camera. I would also like to take pictures with sheet film at some point.

   I shouldn't have gone off on you, but I had to counter the suggestion that I'm somehow not hard-core enough about classic gear. I've gone to pretty extreme lengths with it - shooting 110, 16mm, 35mm, many different 120 and 620 formats, and 4x5 sheet film, mostly doing my own processing - including building the processing equipment. The oldest lens I've used is the dagor, from 1910. The strangest is the lens my account is named after, the 185mm f2.5 Kodak Aero Ektar (same depth of field as a 50mm f0.7 on a 35mm camera - that's it in my avatar).
   By the way, it would be a shame to avoid digital cameras, because modern mirrorless cameras are a wonderful way to get use out of 1960s and 1970s SLR lenses - which are practically free and typically much faster than the affordable lenses from, say, Sony (like $20.00 instead of $2000.00) Konica autoreflex lenses are the real sleepers. cheaper than Nikon &c and just as good.
