Front shutter with flashbulds for PR work, rear shutter for fast-moving field and combat work. It was a blast, flipping film holders, popping and replacing flashbulbs, and just USING the big, black camera the way it was designed to be used. I'm looking forward to a good day in the darkroom tomorrow. Top (and the best news is that I saw two other guys with Annys!)_ |
