Nice piece, Guillermo. How does 36mm on 6x6 compare with 35mm format focals?
Would it be around 20mm?
I like the way you've managed to keep the shutter and cable release.
I think I'm going to search for an Agfa on eBay... -:))
On vignetting, I myself have come to build vignetting as a pictorial component
of my images. Some people like it, others don't. I find it helps draw the
viewer "into" the picture, whereas the conventional non-vignetted images leaves
the viewer outside of the image. Perhaps this comes from my fascination for
'Gene Smith's picture Children in Paradise...
Cheers,
Guy
