The unfortunate element is that wet photography, particularly of large
format plates and negatives is truly caving in to the digital back. I picked
up a Durst 8x10 w/all the condensers etc. that was a donation. Okay, I had
to drive 250 to Reno, NV and back but my school and the students will use
it.
  Another donation coming in is a set of studio Deardorffs. One is 11x14 'n
'tuther 8x10. These all are of 19th century size and quality but wondrous
tools for the student.
