25+ years ago my girlfriend (now wife) had a neighbor who was a retired AP
photographer. He believed the only "real" professional camera was a 4x5
Speedgraphic -- unless there was something bigger at hand. "Roll film is for
sissies!" he's say. It goes around, doesn't it?
Of course, in a few years those of us who worship "silver-sensitive emulsion"
over digital will seem as obsolete to the youngsters following behind us.
