[LargeFormat] Seen on eBay

[Guy Glorieux]

Thanks, Tim and others, for the information.

The various URL references on lenses will come handy.

The sun is finally beginning to come out in in Montreal and temperatures
are rising. While I found the discussion on shooting LF in below
freezing conditions fascinating, but I just don't have the stamina for
this....

So, with spring hopefully settling in, I'll be able to start going out
again with my 11x14 gear in the streets of old Montreal.  I work with a
300mm F/5.6 convertible Schneider which is just wide enough to do what I
want, but the thought of having a wider lens was rather appealing.

Best regards to all,

Guy Glorieux
