(Still, I wonder how many TLR's Ted uses!) I have a slew of cameras, but the ones I use regularly are, in rough percentages: Leica M (M6/M3) 45% Leica TM (IIIc/IIIf) 10% Contax RF (a slew) 3% Rollei TLR (2.8F & GX) 30% Hasselblad 2000 FC/M 5% Rollei 35 3% Rolleiflex SL35E 2% Praktica B 2% I use the last two for some demanding lenses (such as a Russian 1.5/85 Helios) or for moderate tele work (I use a Leica APO-Televid or any of several 500mm or 1000mm MTO's), though, for extreme tele work, as on my Questar, I use a Leica M6 with Viso III. So, yes, I do occasionally use an SLR (both 35mm and MF), though not often. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
