 The only lens I've got is the 45mm.  I try to keep to 1/250th but have
used it at 1/125 without problems.  I might try 1/60 at some stage just to
see how it turns out.

 For me its too expensive to shoot print film.  I tend to use E100SW and
Provia 100F instead.  You have got to see a mounted 6x7 slide, they are a
joy to behold.  Maybe one day I'll be able to afford a projector, but the
mounts are good for protecting and handling the slide.

 Reala is still my print film of choice, but I'd like to try some Portrait
160 in 6x7.  I've had some nice results from that film in 35mm, even for
landscapes.
