I had a job last year recording on a clients own Nagra 4.2, he had asked around for anyone who knew the Nagra and my 20 + years with one (actually three of them, a III, 4L, 4.2) qualified me. I jumped at the chance, driven by nostalgia that lasted up to the exact moment that I grabbed the strap and tried to pick the machine up, and then it hit me in the back with the weight of 12 "D" cell batteries. Still, a great day in all. Afterwards I asked him why he wanted to use the Nagra and he said that he wanted to have the pure analog sound for his little video project. Then I asked him what he thought would happen when the audio was digitized to be used in Final Cut, and a slow fog moved across his face, and I said no more.
