which prompts me to say that the bigger negative is not just a bloated
Leica one. The imagery needs to be quite different. After FOM2 I went back
to 'trying' to use my blad and rolleis and had much worse results that I
had had 6 years earlier. You have to choose slightly different subjects
and subject "interaction" because even with the standard lenes, the dof is
quite low and the square format sees the world differently.

Ok beginning to ramble


Cheers
