    "Ingenious! I've also heard that the best view camera dark cloths are made from Darth Vader's capes!"

    lol..awesome

    Are there any other people we can aggravate by converting their products into cool creative fun stuff?..lol

    I love it. I made end tables out of sauna tube, and a desk that uses a cluster of ABS to hold one end up. No joking.

    No matter what you do for fun, someone, somewhere as HUGE panty knot somewhere uncomfortable about it.

    Screw 'em, if it weren't for us "Sci-Fi" nerds keeping the hunt for those pieces of junk alive for the last 35 years, there may not have been any for them to have for THEIR hobby. God, it's not like they're saving the world by working with antiquated film tech.

    WTG, mopar_guy! That's a strike against their empire!
    Seriously, collecting flashguns for our Graflex-made cameras is a hobby unto itself. And probably cheaper than collecting the cameras, which, like any addiction, gets expensive. Not nearly as costly as collecting Leicas or Zeiss Icons, however.

    Ha ha and WE are the NERDS....

    Lol. Your opinion is clear on the matter.

    One guy was asking when the prequel series was; "the early 90's?"
    He's obviously oblivious to the media. I really want to find myself correcting him.

    Also may be talking about the Special Editions which I think came out in '96/'97. Episode I was 1999.

    I don't have a problem with the antique camera hobby at all. It's just pointless for them to get all butthurt about ours

    Here's another "I'm saving these poor flashes from the SW nerds" threads, pretty funny http://graflex.org/helpboard/viewtopic.php?t=5486

    Because it's a freakin' camera part!

    The funny thing is, he spent too much money on a 2-cell, just to save it from us. We have little to no use for 2-cells! OH! the irony!
