travel shots etc.

Actualy I noticed that on a few of the plates. The grain seemed
pretty big, but I assumed the film had been processed in something
like Rodinal.

I was surprised, because when I got my IIIc I managed to crop foreheads
and
ears left and right. Over time I've gotten better at guessing parallax

VIOOH finder has made a big difference.
