Howdy Matt,
You're right and so is Mark Rabiner.  I think it's basically human
nature that we do and it's sort of life on the LUG that usually occurs
with subjects such as ... double caps.... that is of infinitesimal
importance to the survival of Leica picture taking.

Just wondered if anyone out there has done any "serious portrait work"
using only window light? In colour or B&W, and what film/lens
combination they used?

I mean portraits that challenge the "portrait studio " of
strobes/hotlights ?
