Today he was with Eric Owen, a local camera repairer specialising in mechanical medium format equipment and the inventor of the "Bendy Blad" My friend is now the owner of the last one ever to be made. I understand that there are a couple of dozen of these scattered around the world. This is a Hasselblad Flex body with a custom made attachment that provides full rise/fall/tilt/shift etc in a body that can be used with his PhaseOne digital back! So really a view camera in a tiny package. Gorgeous gadget and showing superb craftmanship. The book underneath contains amazing photos from Stavros Pippos, a South Australian landscape photographer. Wide open lens and DoF from closest flower petal at the extreme corners to minute detail on the horizon. Amazing. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/hoppyman/g/L1014827.jpg.html Cheers, Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman
