Nice! My father was trained as a photographer in the Army in WWII. Plates. Film. Darkrooms, etc... like you mentioned.It is a Quigley! It has been a great machine for my back country explorations.
No, not a professional photographer. But I do have excellent training courtesy of the US Navy. Don't know the status currently but back in the 60s when I was serving the Navy photographer school was acknowledged as one of the best in the world. I learned to use all types of cameras, including those that take 4"x5" film plates, and I learned how to use a darkroom. I was the photographer for our Company. So during my Navy years I guess you could say I was a "professional". Since I got out of the Navy I've worked in mining. But I still love photography!
