[Leica] IMG: Foothill Park

[richard at imagecraft.com (Richard Man)]

Uh oh :-)

Bob, another option is to get one of those technical camera kit with full
rise and tilt like the Cambo or the Alpa? You will have to abandon your
Hassy, but the Rodenstock, the Sinar etc. lens are even more expensive than
Zeiss, so they must be better right? :-)

The nice thing is that you can keep your P45...
