It reminds me of some old album pictures I've seen (and own a few) of our family (Tennessee and southern Illinois, war days, you know, that one, and there-a-bouts). I've not posted this shot here on the LUG because I didn't want, for a million dollars, Slobodan to know that I actually picked up a Moskva-5 after passing on his pristine example that was up for sale. But people on other lists have expressed appreciation for it. It's an old bellows camera, 105mm lens, not very fast. Definitely better tools for doing this kind of shooting, but I was just testing: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=21370&cat=5487 Light couldn't even reach out to the edges of the frame when it is wide-open. It was a slow shutter-speed, don't remember which, but 1/25 or slower. It kind of works for creating an effect.
