  1. Off-topic (Sorry) :D

    My dad in the early to mid 1970's pretty much did the cover shots of the JC Penny and Sears Christmas catalogs.  Too bad he didn't get to bring home all the toys he took pictures of!  As a worker/contract worker he never became rich doing it but he did love his work and photography. He basically retired when digital was taking over. I have to say it was cool to see the big studio where they were developing 8x10 film/transparencies. I still remember my dad showing me how to develop B&W film in his personal darkroom.  We use to go shoot nature photography  with old  TLR  type cameras.

    It does. I wouldn't know where to start.

    I only used a small reel to reel machine a few times. My dad got it from a photo shoot in the 1970's.  The rep  from the company didn't want it back and my dad did the photo-work for one of the electronic catalogs.  Boss said take it if you want it.   Cleaning up my dad's house after he passed away I found the machine and a couple rolls of tape. We tried it and it still worked but replacement tape was not cheap so we let it go cheap for someone else to play with.
