Right at the height of it! First time out with my used Rokinon 12mm fisheye. Perfect for portraits! -

Lifetouch was/is one of the largest high-volume portrait photography franchises in North America: they've been in business 80 years, certainly long enough that it seems logical this bespoke focus screen configuration was made by Beattie to Lifetouch precise specifications. Probably not a stock offering in Beattie's catalog: I'd guess this was made only for Lifetouch to offer as a proprietary accessory for their affiliated photographers. Mamiya was by far the medium format system of choice in the heyday of churn-em-out school and corporate film portrait work (most often the C220/C330 TLRs, but the later RB67 made heavy inroads and even the clunky Universal Press was popular in some applications like passports and IDs). The layout of this screen indicates the attached RB67 was expected to remain in fixed portrait orientation at a fixed distance, with the upper small rectangle used to quickly position the face in the overall frame (handy when dealing with an endless parade of schoolkids etc). Interesting find! Hope it proves to have some utility for you. -

If you are definitely not using icloud but have it because of the Apple devices insisting you need it, it can be turned off for photos and videos completely by turning off all the options. Go to Settings>Photos and turn off all the options. The device will warn you that you're about to destroy the universe as you know it, but basically it just stops devices from uploading to icloud every time you take a picture. Then log into icloud.com using your apple id, go to photos, and delete everything there. Again, the universe will end if you believe the messages, but it won't touch the photos on your devices. Having said that, you need a backup plan for those photos unless you're comfortable with losing them. It sounds as if you have that by putting the photos on your hard drive. There are useful instructions on this Apple page https://support.apple.com/en-ca/102179 Like others have said I use icloud to temporarily backup my photos I take on my iphone, then log ioto icloud and download them onto my Windows computer. I then delete them all on icloud regularly. It's like having a post office box for my pictures, and emptying it regularly.
