- Why did I buy a mamy 6 & 7? Simple - an architect, who's wedding I photographed, wired me for a [illegibile] job in L.A. He wished to decoarte the walls of a new corporate office (ING) with photos of L.A.I could shootanything I wantedas long as it were in L.A. Fair drinkin as the Ausies say. Let'sface it, David no city, can be shot with soley a 35 when you're making prints 20 & 24. The broad expanses of L.A. had to be done with a larger format. I'd been [illegibile] in the medium format direction wer since I saw the 6 & 7. Leicas on steroids - just what I need. THis photowas shot with a 6. I love the 50 mm - forces me in. Remember what Robt. Cape said. If your pictures aren't good enough, you're probably not close enough. You don't haveto tell this coop that twice. Sempre, Mel 7/80"
