- That twinge in your intestines
It is a lovely old thing. If I had the money, I'd go straight for a Linhof 8X10. As it stands, I'll probably someday get around to either building one from a kit or buying a used Calumet 4X5.Hahaha! Control Freak!!!

Don't talk about Rubi that way. He's more sensitive than you.
Well, I think there is a great deal of nuance, variation, color, and passion to be mined there, though I agree, much of the instrumental music has that effect on the mind.
At first I read this as: "One imagines the universe as a great and flawless cock, unruffled by human drama and projection." , which is of course wildly appropos given the venue, and intriquing on so many levels.

I almost bought a Technika 2 1/4 X 3 1/4 back in my salad daze, when I was all about cucumber.
$600 with three lenses.
I was tapped out a bit, and a bit stoopid ... so I didn't jump on the opp.
There's a lot of all of that, but an underlying sense that we live in a god-ordered world.
And the god seems reasonably benevolent.
(In this post-hickster world, we can no longer be certain of that.)
I could worship that.

What advantage do those accordion-like old cameras have over the later lens / telephoto styles?
Refer to: The second post in the thread. (link)

Confusing.
The view camera/field camera can take what amounts to a telephoto lens.
The 'accordion,' or bellows, allows the photographer to move the film plane into the exact plane of focus.
This allows effectively greater depth of field.
And the much larger negative allows much greater definition in the photo.
(Also, since such cameras have to be used carefully and with the intention of making each exposure count ... they encourage a different kind of 'seeing.'
Of course, they're useless for some types of work ... sports photography, for example.)

It's very confusing to come to this site and find people who actually know what they are talking about.
No one got my joke though.

Ah, thank you. A shame to see how much we've left in the past. (A lot of modern day cameras even lack a viewfinder. :\)
I was throwing "telephoto" as a catch word (I've heard it mentioned a lot when looking at cameras). Instead of say "telescoping tube-like thing".
Even more so when it's in the Sexual department.
(Maybe they did. o.o)

I need a darkened room.
Ah, in the dark, you can be a lissome Julie Andrews calling all the Capt. von Trapps to the honeycomb?
What a clit you have, Drifter!!!
Nice falsetto, too ... oops, I'd better stop squeezing.
