Hi, Bruce. I don't think this proposed interview questions forum is the correct one to set up a dialogue with us Yanks, but I'll talk to you. What do you want to talk about? Let's move the discussion to another forum...say...Large Format Photography. Fred.

Large format forum or Graflex? Maybe Speed Graphic? Proshoots doesn't say what Graflex he uses. It really fits all. And if I move it into the Org. forum nobody will see it.

Since this is the newest forum I thought I'd leave it here for a while to let him get some exposure.

Duh!! Now I get it, Bruce...you were attempting to get some Brits off their what-evers to get involved in this forum...or start something similar over there. Good Luck. Fred.

Oh, come one Bruce, you guys are (relatively) buried in MPP press cameras and Thornton Pickard reflexes and similar domestic products, see few Graphics and Graflexes. With us its the other way round.

That few in the UK use US-made gear and few here use UK-made reflects lack of opportunity more than bad qualities. That's the gear's qualities I'm talking about, not the peoples'. No one can ever accuse people on either side of the Atlantic of lacking bad qualities.

FWIW, year before last I bought a Taylor Hobson lens from a chap near Leicester who was aware of Graflex equipment. Didn't use it, was acquainted with it. Can't refer you to him, alas, the last news I had of him came from his widow.

Cheers,

Dan

If I'm not mistaken, at least three other Britons frequent this site...

I have a feeling that more Graflex equipment went to the UK than Adams, Marion, Thornton-Pickard (et al.) came here. In my father's youth, English cameras had the reputation of being the best in the world, and they were priced accordingly -- at least, the export models were.

I also have reason to believe that a good deal of Graflex equipment made its way to the UK during World War II, and much of it stayed there!
