I meant to say that I much prefer shooting on the TLR
for some reason - I think it's the way that the
subject becomes abstract in the WLF. It's almost
exactly the opposite process to rangefinder
photography, where the camera doesn't intrude into the
picture making process. With a TLR, the camera imposes
itself on the process - I take different pictures with
each type of camera - and different again with an SLR.
But I photograph better with a TLR.
