Dick,

065 would be my favourite, but it seems there's a small parallax shift. In 
this case I would have loved to see a little more of the telescope's bottom 
part. Just bending the knees like Ted says...

By the way I just came home with my Bessa L and the Heliar, have shot a roll 
of Plus-X in the snowy fog here. I had to bend my knees in every second shot 
at least. Will post the pics later.

Didier
