[Leica] in which kyle posts a HASSELblad image

[kcassidy at asc.upenn.edu (Kyle Cassidy)]

So, just the other day, I was out with my Leica 500/cm which I've 
accessorized to the point that it now has a strap, the image isn't backwards 
when you look into it, and there's a focusing tab on the lens. it still has 
no light meter, but we're getting somewhere ....

one thing i noticed when i got my FLIM back is that i'd often focused about 
2 inches behind the eyes. would a split image focusing screen help me with 
this? should i spend another $50 on this gadget? (or is that a doodad?) or 
should i spend $50 on FLIM and practice more? i've been thinking of spooling 
some 35mm fuji color (which i have crates of) onto a 120 roll, which would, 
technically, mean i'd only be paying to get the stuff developed, BUT then 
scanning becomes an issue, which brings up question #2:

DOES ANYONE HAVE A PHOTOSHOP ACTION THAT REMOVES THE ORANGE MASK FROM FLIM?

if so, i'd just digitally photograph my negs and invert them. otherwise i'd 
have to find someone with a flatbed and a negative whatnot. it's all getting 
so complicated. why do you think they call it a HASSELblad?
