A little light leak from the back door window, ha...
Anyway, they proved my idea works !
Some more photos later tonight, comments welcomed.

BTW, I believe a 6X9 folding is a better choice !

Dingo, the results look great! I particularly like the DOF play with the plate....

Yes Dingo very cool. 😎 I like the plate too... 🙂

Boy these pics are fantastic! And there's a great contribution of the photographer to that - it's not only the merit if the camera designer🙂

Reallt, they are very nice. I think i'll get a folder to do the trick i described above. Just i hope i will have "the eye" to take photos like this!!!

Also, seems that a 6x6 gives enough panoramic impact, no real need for the 3:1 ratio of a 6x9.

My favourites are the boats, the kids at the water and the plate-dofplay.

I hope you realise you are all crazy - bu the results are great, especially the kids by the water shot (very nostalgic).

This thread sums up RFF - it just about works, but noone quite knows how or why.

Great work.

You've a good eye, Dingo.
Good thing you masked like you did. I don't think these shots would have worked with the sprocket holes showing. Like to see what you do with a Moskva (6x9).

Dingo, these are great. I wonder if using a used film spool as the takeup spool would work?

hm, I have a few old folders that may work doing this. I just might give it a go. First I might just try the cropping of a 6x9. Now I just need to finish the roll in my Ensign Selfix20 that I have been using in the 6x9 format for a couple of B&W landscapes last weekend.
