I agree with that wish! My wife came home with a "cold" in late
January. My "cold" started on 7 Feb, a week later it became a "flu"
with fever, a week after that i developed a sinus infection, all despite
my having received a flu shot in November. Penicillin killed the sinus
problem. I am in week four, and still have some symptoms. We live in
Victoria, BC. This particular virus strain is a really nasty one, and
widespread from the sounds of it. I know this is off topic, but i
wanted to wish Richard K. a good recovery.
I don't have large format camera, but a 20 year old Pentax 6x7 instead.
Just had the foam light trap gaskets replaced last summer so that i
can go out and take more shots without danger of getting the sticky old
foam bits on the film pressure plate. Typical cost for such a job is
CDN100.
