[LargeFormat] Newbie Here

[rlb]

Thanks again Pam.

I am not familiar with the Gowland Pocket View.  I will check it out.   Most
of my photography is with normal and wide lenses.

For some reason I seem to be foaming at the mouth more about Ebony cameras.
If you get a chance go to www.ebonycamera.com  and check them out.  The
SV45TE is appealing.  I would value your comments about it.

Thanks again,
Bob
