WideLux F7 makes me think in panoramic frames on landscapes and vertical views of objects.
I got one of these for my 8th birthday - a pretty good way to start:

Did you get/use a flash gun and bulbs?
IIRC, AG-1B bulbs.
It was 6 decades ago!![]()
Matt, bulbs are one of those photographic tools that'll outlast an awful lot of other kit and digging up the right ones allows you to work with that all day, with period gear.
Sort of like bulb type assemblies, that just sit about, waiting to be used
That may be true, but how are you going to make the photographer wide eyed and eight years old again!

Is that a crime scene photo of someones irises being murdered?
And the SL 601 unleashed my inner dentist!
Same. When I first got my Konica Hexanon 135/3.2, I wondered how I ever lived without it. It is still, by far, my most used lens. Its best feature is it can focus at 1 meter, so it's an almost-kinda-macro lens.The other thing that changed my photography was discovering that I see and compose most naturally in the 100-135mm focal length. It took a lot longer to get used to the "normal" focal length, but after some years I finally did.
What does this mean?
Some people believe that only dentists and lawyers buy Leicas, to show off. It was a humorous word play on that trope.
I found it funny.
Of course I sold a few Hasselblads and at Leicas when In worked in camera sales, and at least some of them were bought by doctors and dentists. No lawyers as best I recall, but definitely a couple of university professors!
