Hi Lugnuts-

The book that I purchased for the Holidays " Natural Beauty Farber Nudes "
by Robert Farber is easy reading, very nice pictorially, and has a few
comments about equipment, film and settings and lighting. He uses a variety
of 35 mm, medium format, digital and even Minox cameras. The images are
interesting in that grain is a prominant feature, and the softness of the
figures gives them a nice quiet quality. The book is balanced with other
scenes of beauty- landscapes, a seascape, flora, etc.

Looking the book over- it appears that I shouldn't be too hung up on Leica
35- there are a lot of ways to achieve excellent results among them watching
the light, sometimes filtration, and planning the size of the final print.

An additional comment- I've paid my own way photographically until now- and
will continue in the future.

Best, Stasys
