Quite possibly the photographer saw the cropped version in the viewfinder. I can't remember how much masking was present on the one rollei that I had, I don't know if this one was used with a prism viewfinder, but just a little bit closer in makes a better composition. This image: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/St_+Antoni/070522-12w.jpg.html is the most frustrating, the exposure is good as is the focus but if the photographer had moved around to the left and placed the bike poster on the top left horizontal and vertical thirds and the woman with her goods on the bottom right horizontal and vertical third, it wouldn't matter what as behind her because the depth of field at this distance is so shallow to leave the poster out of focus and she would have been backlit against an overexposed background which would be good for wiping out any distracting details.
