[Leica] IMGS: Train Station

[Sonny Carter]

One of the true advantages I’ve found in using a power chair.  I am just
about Rolleiflex height most of the time, and since the vf on the Sony
flips, I can also shoot from a little higher than ankle level.  What’s
more, my chair came equipped with what they call I-level, an elevator rig
that raises my seat another foot higher.

All these years of being 6’4” shooting viewfinder cameras, and now my
viewpoint can be nearly anything I want it to.
