it's been many years since i dealt with them (like, thirty five or forty), and back 'in the day,' i always got the read that they were in the grey area between sketchy and downright dishonest.
one guy's opinion...
OK - i'm a died-in-the-wool luddite, a cardholding member of the Grouchy Old Man Club, and i would yell at kids to get off my lawn, if any of them came this far into the wilderness to come onto my tiny little lawn ... it's mostly forrest anyway ...
My "go to" camera ia a Zone VI 4x5, but if that's not handy, i grab my RB67.
wow- curmudgeon time!!
great shot! future farmers for sure ... someone tell them about right- to- repair
and you could walk to the local playground by yourself and not risk ending up with your photo on the back of a milk carton ...
i agree with CliffMcKenzie:
""A little off the top. Right side is good. Left side, the crop is too tight, widen ever so slightly and remove from the bottom left corner a leaf just starting to appear. Also study the stem after the initial leaves (going bottom up - left side). The greens are strong & dark, you might play with this and also try boosting the flower (only) saturation entirely or just pink\red.""
nice shots! a pretty basic predator - simple design, solid construction, fair to good manufacturing ... not snazzy, but still going strong after all these millions of years ...
