I prefer, quite strongly, photographing in enclosed or semi-enclosed rainforest situations when there is
diffuse light. All planning takes advantage of when and where this is going to occur (e.g in places much colder and unwelcoming than this cosy studio!!) This means it's either overcast (or raining!), foggy or all three. Fog and overcast conditions make focusing a pain ,which is where the centre-spot magnifier is brought out to help with the 67, or the POL is removed.
If I went into any of the RF environments today I would be defeated stepping out: clear blue skies, bright sun, wild winds and not enough water to wet a baby's bum.

ST! Sigrid is a friend I meet sometimes in the city (actors have specific haunts they hang out, be seen in). True dinks, she's a social butterfly like no other. I think she has a Mamiya C330 (?) for snaps. She kicked off in 1983 with "All The Rivers Run" filmed on the Murray up at Echuca (270km or so from here). You might remember this film as it took the US by storm when it was released there.
