The answer was a 40 year old 4x5 camera and a couple of vintage lenses. The results are *way* beyond anything I could achieve with a Leica or even my Rollei 6x6. Another order of photographic magnitude different. Thanks to Henry A and Mark R for giving me courage to do this! - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com ICQ: 109343205
