To 4x10'ers:

OK, I can't help asking: For those of us on this list who think there
are two kinds of cameras -- 35mm SLR and pinhole-in-an-oatmeal-box -- would
some kind person explain in simple terms the camera-impaired could
understand what this "4x10 point & shoot" consists of?

As it happens, I own an old wooden 8x10 (doesn't everybody?) which I have
never used, including because it weighs as much as a small planet (though it
makes a nice living-room still life). I gather this "lunatic" object is
light enough to take "into the field"? Is this (or a simplified version)
something an ORDINARY lunatic could in fact make, or is it another one
of your advanced ploys (like making a "simple" pinhole with laser &
microscope)!?!?

Just asking -- Judy
