I traded off almost all the 35mm Pentax equipment for a Rodenstock Tiefenbildner Jmagon f/5.4 25 cm [10 inch] on a Graflex lens board with two tea strainer filters at the Washington Photorama. I already checked it on my Graflex Model D.

The Washington Photorama was about a third the size it was two years ago. Soon the Photorama will only be a memory.

I thought there was supposed to have been a Photorama show in Philadelphia yesterday. There might have been, but they didn't send me a card as usual.

You're right, camera shows are nearly done.

They were in Philadelphia Saturday and KEH bought a lot of things, but they skipped Washington DC.

Nor did I get a card, Dan. In the Philadelphia area, the Delaware Valley shows are a pale shadow of their former selves: from one very big room and a couple of smaller side rooms plus the corridor, all full of dealer tables, down to one medium size room and that one not even full. I rarely bother to drive down anymore. Blame it on the 'bay.

BTW, Dan, those shows were usually on Sunday. "Yesterday" was Saturday. More strangeness.

Steve, now that I think of it, one of the sellers at today's show in Wayne, NJ had a complete 250 Imagon set, also a small pile of Commercial Ektars.

There wasn't anything there for me, as has got to be usual.

I have been checking their website regularly. The post card arrived Thursday or Friday for the Sunday show. If the mail was any slower, I would have gotten the post card after the show!
