Her hubby's model sure has a nice lively look as well. Really wouldn't mind trying to find her granddaughter for a shoot myself. Henle makes it work. Just because you're shooting a 6x6 doesn't mean it will. Using 120 film for quality and not taking advantage of the whole square is a bit pointless. If you use a square because you want all the elements to work together then they should coalesce. Walt p.s If anyone has an old 2.8F Rollie they want to give me I'll try to learn to like squares. :-) Raimo K wrote: > Have a look at this and tell me all about square compositions later: > http://photography.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.fritzhenle.com/ > > > All the best! > Raimo K > Personal photography homepage at: > http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho > > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walt Johnson" <walt@waltjohnson.com> > To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> > Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 6:57 PM > Subject: Re: [Leica] M8 and the Future > > >> There is no doubt the Rolliflex viewfinder makes looking a pleasure. >> There seems to be a distancing from the equipment that allows more >> subject involvement.
