Then go on fleabag and find an extra Kowa finder screen (about ten bucks--the seller will be thrilled to see it go!) take a sharpie and rule it for 6x4.5. Shoot and crop. Best, Jim Shulman Wynnewood, PA Who has already moved all the LTM equipment in his post. Trousseau still needs completion, folks! -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Richard Man Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010 3:51 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] FS: Finance My Trousseau. Cameras and Lenses for Sale Yea :-) 10% finder's fee :-) I am debating how best to use up my medium format film. I can sell them, or I can get a Holga, or your Kowa 6 - the biggest problem being that aquare and I don't mix. I found that6x7 is already too square for me. Someone is selling a Mamiya 645E+lens for $250, may be I will go with that.
