On what I have always believed to be a list which takes a general interest in rangefinder photography in addition to Leica photography, I'm glad to see examples of someone trying to make ambitious use of a challenging but interesting rangefinder format. For me, most of the photos nearly work, but not quite. I like the fourth one most because it makes good abstract use of the limitations of the high contrast. I'm sure many people subscribed to this list have wondered about extending their rangefinder repertoire to the X-Pan, and like me would be interested to see someone trying to use it for Leica-style photography rather than yet another elongated landscape shoreline.
