I'm very curious as to why you are holding your camera upside down? I used
to do that with my Hasselblad and Rollei TLR, when photographing over a
crowd, but you could look up into the ground glass and see what you were
photographing. So when would you hold an M camera upside down? I know...
while photographing the Blarney Stone. :)
