Night view of downtown Chicago as seen from the observatory of the John Hancock Center. The shot cost me approx. 50 dollars for admission, parking, one roll of film, and development. Out of 13 shots, only three were sharp and correctly exposed - tripods weren't allowed and it was way too dark for my light meter.

First, note how cute she is. After that, turn your attention to the shallow focus plane (actually a focus wedge in this case), which is is tilted and runs through both Selma's and the bear's eyes. The tiltable lens mount is one of the unique features that distinguishes the SL66 from most other medium format cameras and is one of the reasons why it has been my favorite piece of equipment for a few years now.
