Celebrating the Square.

[Keith]

I'm kind of into the square at the moment courtesy of a little Voigtlander Brilliant. It uses a magnifier that looks directly at the mirror instead of a screen and it's scale focus but the principal is the same, and what it has done is remind me that I really like this format and I believe successful composition is very simple if you approach it correctly.

So, show your square images ... be they Rangefinder, SLR, TLR, 35mm Robot or whatever, but let's celebrate 'the square!'

One from the little Voigtlander to start the ball rolling.

My favourite format by far. I seem to see compositions in square (easier). Have now 6 cameras in the format. From my latest roll of 12 on 120. Rolleiflex 2.8E3, TMX in Caffenol

I love the square.
There's a cheap 80mm lens made for the Pentacon Six mount that i desperately want to buy, but i don't want the hassle of the cameras it's made for. I was going to adapt it to a Mamiya 645, but every time i look at the sample images i've found and then crop them to 6x4.5 to get an idea what i'll get on the Mamiya... it just isn't the same.
