I have one such candidate in the Envoy Wide Angle, a 6x9 camera with a fixed 64mm lens (usually Taylor Hobson but occassionally Dallmeyer). However this seems unlikkely to present the severe distortion/extreme coverage that are apparent in this series of his photos, so I remain unconvinced. I managed to pick up a new copy of his latest Thames and Hudson book (published in conjunction with the National Portrait Gallery I believe) for only 5 pounds this last weekend, a pleasant bargain considering the new price is 48 pounds! Sadly there were no more copies available... :-( regards, Jem - ----- Original Message ----- From: "S Dimitrov" <sld@earthlink.net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 2:06 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Bill Brandt on TV > He used a special wide angle LF camera for his nudes and beach series. > Anyone remember the make and model? > Slobodan Dimitrov > > > Stuart Phillips wrote: > > > > I'm pretty sure he also used a Rollei TLR and LF. > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Gerry Walden" <gwpics@ntlworld.com> > > To: "LUG" <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> > > Sent: Sunday, December 01, 2002 4:25 AM > > Subject: [Leica] Bill Brandt on TV > > > > > For those of you who can get UK satallite/cable channels there is a > > > programme about the renowned UK photographer Bill Brandt on BBC4 on > > > Wednesday night at 9 p.m. UK time.
