Last remark (I promise) on this topic. Chuck, I know your time is tight and we on this list have been happy to see your partial return to scopemaking. Don't want to stop that. I've had a recent opportunity to get re-acquainted with some old film shots. These were shots I'd remembered as favorite pictures. Some were done with an old Pentax 35mm SLR, but most were with film point-and-shoot, probably 120. I was surprised at how poor the shots were. Of course they still carry the feeling of the moment, but technically they're just not very good. Large format film may still have something to offer, but that was never a hobby format. Film's dead. So why don't you think about a nice digital point and shoot. You can get a Nikon, Canon or Olympus for $200-$300. They'll go in a shirt pocket and the 'film' is nearly free. These things take excellent shots--considerably better than simple film cameras. The onboard processors are good and you can just skip the post-processing part. Then you'll have pictures you can easily preserve and share. Later on you can get silly about it.
