[Leica] IMG: More new Hoppy Family pics

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Hi Len, yep I agree that the DoF needs managing. That's a trade off for the 
big bright RF finder.
The Rolleicord Vb is elegant and minty. Always wanted to use that word. I 
messed up the processing on the first roll. I might post a
pic or so if I make a picture worth sharing.

Cheers
Hoppy

Oops. You know they almost look like twins. No wonder Mina is trying  
so hard and he's looks like he's just toying with her. Something  
didn't seem right.

DOF is hard to control with a RF camera. It seems that in any  
critique of the photos here the single most comment is about  
something not in clear focus.

How do you like the Rolleicord? I have a Rollei T I bring out and  
shot every once in awhile. Really fine cameras.

Cheers,
Len
