[LargeFormat] 8x10 Cameras - Kodak Master Camera

[Jim Hemenway]

Hello Clive:

The most useful statement that I can make about all that you write
below, is that the camera seemed just a little strange to work with at
first, but that I got used to it quickly. 

Due to my 11x14 activities I haven't used it for several months, but I
don't remember any real difficulties with focus corrections or with
front parts moving inadvertently.  No more than what I experience with
the big Korona, maybe a little less with the KMC.

Are you up early over there in the Old Country?  It's 11PM here and I'm
about to hit the sack.
