Nowhere is that more true than with my R8/winder/90mm 
Elmarit for hand held vertical portraits. All of the design
elements merge, in an optimum manner, allowing those
subtle & beautiful facial expressions to be captured.

One non-trivial element is how the R8/winder allows
my left hand a grip, in the vertical mode, that is effortless
when taking  portraits. A second, is the fact that the
"old true blue" 90 Elmarit at f4, in the close up range,
yields colors with beautiful hues!
