Which is maybe why my Mamiya RB67 Pro-S has a revolving back. The 4.5x6cm back
and 127mm Mamiya-Sekor C lens make a great portrait combination. :-)
Also, I think I forgot to mention, I've accumulated three double sheet film
holders for the Mamiya. I need one more. Somebody send me one, if you please.
I've got over 500 sheets of 6x9cm film in the fridge: Efke PL100, J and C
Classic 200, and Ilford HP5. There's just something really special about B&W
sheet film. If you ain't used it, you just wouldn't understand. ;-) Can't
really use AA's Zone System without it.
