Relegated to the history books as ALL TIME GREATS...
CONCORDE
SPEED GRAPHICS
STEAM TRAINS
FLYING BOATS
GOING TO THE MOON
Im sure you Guys,could add more...but it's nice that they are 'preserved' (except going to the moon)that they come out for an airing once in a while.

Glad to hear you say that, Sid. I agree. A couple of weeks ago, I aired out my newest Baby Speed on a photo documentary of the historic structures on a local National Wildlife Refuge. It was the first time out for that camera, a pretty mahogany and brass baby that I spent last winter resurecting from a lump of moldy, corroded junk. It is equipped with the legendary Ektar 105mm f/3.7 and it performed admirably. (Yes, mahogany and polished brass. Beautiful!)

Hello Glenn,
That's what I like to hear,the old work-horse is'nt on the shelf BUT out there still being used today.
Beautiful workmanship no wonder people stop and ask questions when they see it appear.
Built to last,treated well,it goes on forever.Mine are used weekly,mainly B/W via 120 film backs.
I don't believe looking at these things as museum objects, if I wanted that,I would have collected stamps or paintings.
