<p>Now for pictures. Amazing view and I am less than 20 feet from the cars.</p><div></div>

<p>Another</p><div></div>

<p>Flags at a church on Memorial Day</p><div></div>

<p>Church flags again different angle.</p><div></div>

<p>Verticals don't work well. Either too much foreground or too much sky.</p><div></div>

<p>Bad vertical again. Thanks for looking. Again sorry for the huge mix up. I don't post that often. So I screwed up on the film and the post. I need a beer.</p><div></div>

<p>Aha, found them! Looks great and the flags are a perfect subject for the wide angle. Lenses this wide are hard to get your head around at times, but are fun when you do. The 47mm is about as wide as you can go on this format and your pics look free from distortion and vignetting.<br>

Look forward to seeing more from this remarkable camera...and remember...practice makes perfect!</p>

<p>Not so. I have a 47/5.6 SA and a 35/4.5 ApoGrandagon, shoot both on nominal 6x9 (56 x 82 mm or so) and nominal 6x12 (56 x 112). Both are rectilinear, both just cover 6x12 (put good image in the corners), and both need center filters on 6x12 because of optical vignetting (cos^3 or ^4 bites hard). The 47 SA doesn't need a center filter on 6x9. The 35 benefits a little from one on 6x9, whether one is needed depends in part on the subject.</p>

<p>About distortion. Short lenses really need a level camera. I shoot mine from leveled tripod, expect that even though the Veriwide is eminently hand-holdable it would benefit from a tripod too.</p>

<p>Since I royally screwed up the post most of the camera porn got deleted. I will post again in the right place hopefully.</p><div></div>

<p>Wire frame open.</p><div></div>

<p>Camera top</p><div></div>

<p>Close up</p><div></div>

<p>Last one with the plain case. I'm gettting the hang of posting now. I better stop!!</p><div></div>

<p>No, don't stop...get out and shoot some more pictures!</p>

<p>Seconded: more pictures, please! Terrific camera, <strong>Daniel</strong>, well worth the minor hiccups.</p>

<p>I enjoyed the presentation and we all enjoy seeing classics put to use. There are a few different lines of Plaubel. They are limited in quantity but not in quality. Do post more enjoyed the porn too!!<br>
