FW: studio cameras circa 1950s

DEAR RYBERG,
        Below is my first posting on this thread at 6:52 am Monday. You will see
that I mention Super XX as an option in the early 50s.
                CHEERS!

DEAR LIST,
        Though the discussion of Speed Graphics (I still use one as a field
camera) and 35 mm has been wonderful, Chris asked about "Studio Cameras"
used for magazines. If she literally means "studio" then the camera of
choice was the 8X10. In studio, Life, Look, and most of Conde Nast
publications (Vogue, etc.) used 8X10s. I also think that the film of choice
may have been Super XX in the "early 1950s" though I say this under
correction.
                        CHEERS!

hey all--
i'm trying to find out info on the types of cameras and films used for
work in photo magazines in the early 1950s (such as in Life--both in the
field and in studio).

either specific resources or places to start would be greatly
appreciated--on or off list.

all the best
kris
