Of all the portraits that I have done with the Hassy nearly everyone has asked for the finshed print to be in square format - it seems to convey a softer and less formal image. >> I have to confess that I have always enjoyed working with 6x6. I still have a couple of Rollei TLR's and a Super Ikonta B - doing it on the cheap. The 2.8 Zeiss lenses are good enough for available light work, with some of the new emulsions. Especially, the RF works well in dim light. So why did the Robot, with its 24x24 mm format, fade away? Joe Sobel
