Digital BW, The Print

Martin Parr did a lot of his stuff ona Makina. I tried to find one and
couldn't. How about a Rolleiflex? I've just bought one and I love it. Light,
great optics etc etc.

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\ufffdt really know how long they produced it (end of 80th I
suppose). I\ufffdfound 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\ufffdm as good as a Hasselblad ..... "
Shortcomming: no lens change possible (ore is that a plus for
travelling?).
though I\ufffdm 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
