  1. I would imagine you would have really had a lot of fun here, Les. There is some really interesting equipment here. It always amazed me the ingeniousness of the first cameras and how they worked. Those pioneers of the photo world were absolutely brilliant in my thinking. And, I wonder if they were able to come back and see some of the most modern equipment, what they would think. After all, if it wasn’t for them we would not have now what we have. Good stuff, my friend!
