[rollei_list] Re: Pistol Grip...my video clip

Elias:
       I think your method is good and safe if you don't need to maintain the 
subject framed for other photograph, I did a video clip lower resolution than 
yours about the way I use the Rollei grip, however I'd like to do the following 
clarifications:

1)The firsts seconds are supposed to focus the subject turning the focusing 
knob with the left hand. I forgot to do it.
2)I lose film advance crank "feeling" without film, the crank advance becomes 
light too much and I lost time paying attention to the crank, I do things more 
quick with film ( I don't fold -unfold the crank).
3)I knew I was doing a videoclip and became "nervous".
