In an earlier response to Sam about a Formula 1 photographer I got to thinking back to the 1st time I used a 'real' camera. It was as a teen living in Germany in the mid 60s and I went to my 1st race, the Formula 1 in Solitude. My friend brought a Rollei tlr. Not knowing any better or having preconceived notions, plus being a teen, I adapted quickly but it was strange having the cars go the wrong way. We developed the film that night and I was hooked on racing and photography, something that has managed to extract more dollars from me then I would like to think about. To prove to skeptics you could do something like that, I brought my Hassy to a race a few years back. Must admit, without the prism it was like sticking pins in my eyes :-> Bill - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
