Which brought to my mind..."Hey I wonder what other Medium or Large Format Leica Photographers prefer." So how about it? Good topic? I have sold all of my pro MF equipment to help feed my newly found expensive leitz camera habit. (I had an RB67 Pro S and a C330 outfit.) I now shoot almost exclusively 35mm (finding it hard to give up my SLRs for Macro and extreme tele work, but once my M system is gathered, I'm thinking now about getting into an R system as well to replace my venerable small "m" Minoltas.) The only MF that I have now is my trusty Yashica 124G. On occasion I have a call for a large negative but the Yashica is difficult to wield with any speed, so I am looking forward to checking out the new Fujifilm GA645Zi camera so that I don't have to mess around collecting a lot of new equipment. (It's an all in one autofocus/exposure RF 645 with a built in 55-90mm (slow) zoom.) As I would rarely have call to use MF professionally, why not have something completely convenient? What do you Leica shooters (trying to stay somewhat on topic) like for MF work when forced away from a 24X36mm image? Carpe Lumen, Michael E. Berube http://www.goodphotos.com
