I do love ultra wides, and the zeiss 30 on MF is a great lens: its the one 
reason I've stayed with the 'blad rather than get into the 6000 series 
Rolleis: I"ve never seen a 30 for the Rollei in oz. Lovely colour and 
interesting history. Thanks

Cheers

Amesbury is an old mill town with a river that drops 90 feet as it 
travels through the downtown area.

Initially, it powered several sawmills and gristmills. Later many 
textile mills were constructed, but it became famous as a center of hat 
making, cut nails, horse carriages and automobile bodies.

The Great Depression of the early '30s ended most of that... the mill 
buildings that survive have been developed into housing and office and 
small business buildings.

It was a cold day and even though my photobuddy shot a few images with 
his 4x5, my 11x14 remained in my car.
