The votes seemed about evenly split, probably reflecting what a number pointed out: each had something going for it, but neither had everything/enough. Several folks, starting I believe with Slobodon, suggested it should have been a vertical shot...I think they're right. This also reminds me of a comment Phong made to me about a year ago that I should shoot more verticals. I don't think I was this "horizontal-centric" when I was shooting with my F3...I must say that for all I love my Leicas, I find them significantly less ergonomic to shoot with vertically than horizontally...for some reason I seem to have a harder time aligning RF images when holding the camera vertically. Plus, the focus tab on my 35cron, which lines up so nicely with my forefinger when horizontal, doesn't seem as useful vertically. Oh well. That having been said, I note with some chagrin that 3 of the 4 photos I'm posting this week are verticals. So maybe there's still hope. :) Here's the PAW four-pack...pretty self-explanatory...M6TTL with 21/4 voigtlander, 35/2 cron, and 50/2 collapsible summitar: http://www.duke.edu/~ajs2/PAW/2005_40/index.html Best, Aaron
