Digital BW, The Print

Stephen,
for travelling I use a Makina 67 (produced by Plaubel), Nikon lens 
2,8/80 (very good). Format 6x7cm.
No SLR, but rangefinder with parallaxis-correction. 
Don´t really know how long they produced it (end of 80th I 
suppose). I´found a mint one on the sec.hand market for about 
$800. 
The hit is: you can fold down the lens into the body, so the whole 
thing becomes apperently flat to put it into your Jacket pocket, 
where it may cry: "I´m as good as a Hasselblad ..... " 
Shortcomming: no lens change possible (ore is that a plus for 
travelling?).
though I´m on a 4x5 or 8x10 camera normally, I took it to CA this 
spring to do all these AA and EW shootings again ... I just love 
the pictures ... 
Bernd
