No kidding. I have a Mami*a (apparently, I'm supposed to do that...) C330 that
I
use from time to time, and a 4x5 convertible Deardorff that I've used once or
twice.
Not having a darkroom of my own at the moment, shooting 4x5 (I actually have
the
5x7 back for it as well) is a very expensive proposition. My 4x5 back is a
Graflok, so
I could buy a rollfilm holder, but that's not in the budget at the moment.
Plus, I
hardly have time to use the OM's right now.

I'd like at least one or two more lenses for the Deardorff and for the C330,
and I'd
like to get my Gossen meter calibrated. It's all about money.....
