An Agfa Camera


I met this woman and her assistant on The High Road to Taos when I stopped to take a photo of a village church.  Unintimidated by her remarkable equipment, I chatted with her and then proceeded to take pictures with my point and shoot digital camera right alongside of her.  Had to laugh as I thought about the differences between us!

    Nice to see people with such tools. I've some older cameras too. And I use all of them too. But I've to admit that I prefer my Canon EOS 405D.

    You don't see those cameras every day. She's got some great photos from Pueblo on her blog.

    It looks like an old speed graphics camera. They were still using them in photography departments when I first got out of the Army. An excellent film camera but you need a darkroom to really make any sense out of owning one.

    You don't see this kind of equipment much in this day and age.

    I don't know that I've seen a camera like that before now. It's a little "before my time."

    These beautiful cameras do magnificent work that simply cannot be duplicated with any other photographic device.

    Cool Afga! Interesting woman too-I even know how to do photo polymer plates! Nowhere near her league, though...
