Thank you!  I love my Rolleiflex, but between the film and chemicals costs
(and the fact that it's back for repairs for about the fifth time in a
year) it's no small commitment.

My biggest challenge recently has been focusing it faster, which is
getting tougher, in spite of the brightscreen addition.  I've also
overestimated DOF a lot, and my rejection rate was rather high with this
round of shooting.  I've learned that if I'm shooting in anything less
than sunny spaces, and want portraits, I need 400 speed film and smaller
apertures.  (A great suggestion about a year or two ago from Mark Rabiner,
which I'll heed with my next order of 120 film).

Thanks,
Jim
