And wasn't he shooting medium format on a Mamiya 7? That means he only shoots 10 or 12 perfect shots per roll, not 36, a considerably easier task. :-P Large format shooters also have a very high "hit" percentage. But if I was spending 20 minutes for each shot, maybe I would too! :-) Karen -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
