[LargeFormat] Wind

[Jim Hemenway]

Speaking of wind... not a good day here for any large camera with a bellows:

I'm hoping that my favorite fall tree will still have its leaves 
tomorrow as I wanted to try a shot with the 360 Schneider.  This one was 
taken a year ago with the 420 Ronar process lens. I want to get one with 
better corner rendition:
