The Contarex pictures were taken by Charlie Barringer using Contax RTS gear. Most of the remainder were shot either with a Leica M6, Viso III, Bellows II, and 4/90 Elmar lens-head or with a Hassie 2000 FCM, manual bellows, and 5.6/135 S-Planar. The problem with the printing was Hove, not the basic pictures: they even fouled up some publicity shots from Zeiss Ikon itself. Hove is a wonderful publisher, but their graphics folks could use some help. Marc Marc James Small Cha Robh Bas Fir, Gun Ghras Fir! FAX: +540/343-7315
