<p>Had never met Nadine but the loss of an obviously much admired photographer and person, is everybody's loss.<br>

Kind thoughts for the Ohara Family.</p>

<p>Can I say how refreshing it has been to read all the responses to this question because it is about FILM and not about PIXELS! The 6 X 6 format is indeed the most creative to work with. In my collection of cameras I have a Yashicamat EM, Rolleiflex F3.5 Tessar, Mamiya C220's, C330, and the latest C330S. All great cameras in their individual way. I like the 75mm lens in the Rollei but overall the Mamiya series are just so brilliantly designed they are my pick. Not a battery in sight! I also have many nice 35mm cameras (many Russian) and for my digital work (just to show I'm not a complete Luddite) I use a Panasonic LC1 with the superb Leica f2 Summicron lens.<br>

Good luck with your 6 X 6 photography, you will not regret it. I think B & W in this format is the ultimate creative challenge and even more so if you have your own darkroom.<br>
