Yes, I like them both. I think it's because they make things strange for you so you see it differently. The leica is such a transparent machine, in the sense that you look *through* it at the world, that it often feels unmediated. The rolleiflex is the opposite of this. The world is flipped over, and shown in a naturally unstable frame (the square). It makes a nice change from a leica, and vice versa. Maybe that's part of the reason for some of us. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
