It was a heaven of sorts for people who love cameras in all shapes and sizes. As I walked between trestle tables groaning with archaic gear, I heard snippets of conversations ranging from lens stuff (is that an M-mount?) to the advantage of one tripod over another (these new light-weight graphite tripods just can't support an 8X10 View Camera with lens; and if its windy…) to something I really didn’t need to overhear (how many sheets does that tank take?) to where to get a ground glass replacement that won't empty the kids' college funds (more about that later.)
