Thanks again for all your encouragement. What a great place NG is.
Well, you are probably so old that you can remember the days when cameras had something called film in them 
Sten - I'll give you a real laugh - the first "large-format" camera I bought was a quarter-plate* Kodak folding bellows camera. It was of some antiquity and admittedly I bought it in a junk-shop (for £2.00, in 1967); it came complete with a box of (I think) 24
glass-plate negatives. I shot and developed them all - still have them somewhere, and actually did part of the work of my first paid job - a record-sleeve - using that camera and a couple of those glass negs.
* quarter-plate - 4.25 x 3.25 inches; 11 x 8cm
