I love it! Light leaks and all! That's a great shot, Mark. When I hear people whining about their "inferior" equipment, and how it limits their vision, I'll think of that photograph. I think Holgas have a certain "plasticity" that other cameras don't have (sorry, Boris, couldn't resist! <g>). Congrats on your success, Mark.
