What I've got it down to is my M6 with 50mm 'Cron loaded with maybe Kodachrome 200 (archival) with a Tc-1 Minolta with NHG ? Or maybe Scala as is pushes so well...., or maybe some cold beer on stand-by to sooth the nerves. Any suggestion welcome... Regards, Peter Zak. >> I've done it several times ( 3 daughters ) with M6 / 35 and Tri-X / No flash . You have to know that you will be so impressed that you might not take a look on your recycle light , so do it Flashless . The 35 will be cooler ( more depth of field ) . The BW will be easier for the final rendition . Babies don't always come with a nice pinky skin . Stay by the head of the mother , you will not disturb the Doc , and start shooting when the baby is laid on the mother . It's also a good idea to follow the baby into the the cleaning room . The mother will have something else to do anyway and your presence with her at that moment is far from needed . Chears Jo Goodtimes , France . airborne radar tech live free or die
