For the heck of it, I set my M6 in a similar position, got out a Hasselblad with 80mm lens and found that from around 4' away I could get a very similar perspective (the Nikon photo shows about the same amount of keystoning as I see on my Hasselblad viewscreen). This image would nicely fill out a 35mm frame, whereas most of the 6x6 Hasselblad negative winds up as empty space, so I guessed that the lens was a 105mm Micro-Nikkor. I would've thought they'd use 4x5, but the apparent lack of perspective control (unless the slight keystoning was deliberate) made me think otherwise. Nice lighting-I want a softbox and the (drum?) scanner that produced that digital image! The S3 unfortunately, is out of my league ;-) - -- "Getting by" with a Leica, Jeff Segawa Somewhere in Boulder, Colorado
