When I was in college I worked for one semester as a photog at the college newspaper -- the LSU Daily Reveille. First day on the job my editor told me that they didn't use 35mm photos and handed me a 3-1/4 by 4-1/4 Linhoff press cam. I hated using it and finally one day got the assignment of shooting a track meet. I loaded up 6 film holders and headed to the track, but really got nothing I wanted to turn in. Next day I took along my IIIf and 50mm lens and shot a roll of 35mm, made a contact sheet and took it to the editor. He ended up using 14 shots in a centerfold spread. That was the end of the Linhoff. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-40
