At the "bend" at the bottom of the L shaped upright there is either a 3 piece design obvious ( 45S) or it looks like a bent piece of metal, 1 piece (45). YMMV on the Null position stops on the movements....some like em, some hate em.... Bob folds up his camera. When folded, it is about 2 inches thick. This is certainly doable but takes time and experience to do properly. If you don't want to learn, the bellows is removed with 2 quick releases on front and 2 on the back standards.... about a 5 second job.... Bob's camera used to sport a red white and blue paint job with yellow racing stripes and flames on the bellows...... thus, sportier. Mine just had small purple polka dots. Dull. We both had the cameras repainted in response to getting someone to take us seriously when actually photographing. They were painted on the Model T assembly line... your choice of colors, as long as it is black. Tongue in cheek on those last comments.... Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net Subject: Re: [Leica] iPhone 4S victim The S stands for stops. The horizontal swings, vertical rises and tilts of both standards have 0 stops on them. It's also sportier... ;-) Bob Adler www.rgaphoto.com On Jul 8, 2012, at 8:25 PM, Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> wrote: > I'm a black and white person too but working from a color neg can be > similar to making a black and white from a capture from a digital > camera.
