This came up in the preceding days. If there was one at all, what's the one camera you almost bought, but didn't, that you now wish you had?
For me it was a beautiful new 5x7 Deardorff displayed at Ferrante-Dege in Cambridge, Mass. It was actually a 4x5 Special with a 5x7 back, I think. I was visiting my mother and stepfather (he taught at the Kennedy School) in the late '80s or early '90s, and I kept getting drawn back into Ferrante's as though by a tractor beam, to gaze longingly at that Deardorff. Here's what it looked like.
(And the reason I wanted a 5x7? Because Paul Caponigro used one! No lie.)
What about you?
Mike
