That's John Kovacs, one of the original Technicans that was involved in
retro-fitting some of the Space Program Hasselblad. He and Chris Filovich
(with Gil Ghittleman Camera, repairing his equipment) WERE the teachers that
trained most of the current technicans.

Aww... I thought that was supposed to remain a secret! Yes, they are the
best. Very considerate and good to work with, too. The only thing I didn't
like was that they put a lock on the flash synch to keep it from slipping
out of X. But how were they to know I still use bulbs (rarely, but yesterday
was one time.) :) I'm sure they would skip that part if you asked them to.
Happy Holidays, everyone.

They (Hilton Command Exposures) also sells an insert to the ELM/ELX
bodies that uses an ordinary battery which will yield about 5000 (5K)
exposures. This insert replaces the original insert. The battery
that you can buy at Radio Shack is about $6 (six dollars)....
