That, Mark, is not a question I think any of us what to know the answer
too....

I find that more and more I am almost exclusively shooting not diagonals,
but horizontals - even for portraits...While I'm still doing some verticals,
I prefer the horizontals because of the space they create around subjects,
and, if the truth be known, because I find that for some odd reason I can
hold the M much steadier horizontally than vertically....
