About cropping - if you're like me and can't see horizontal lines and vertical lines and compose them as straight in the viewfinder, you have to crop.If I printed 90% of my negatives full frame they'd be crooked.
I'm right there with you, Fred. Photoshop tells me that I apparently lean +/- three degrees or even more on most images - it's like I'm drunk or something, and it makes no difference what camera I use. When I get the horizon level on the negative I almost always print the whole negative just because for once I'm not leaning!
Which way do you lean?

I thought it was just me, but interestingly, I do it much more with eye-level cameras than with WLFs. Apparently I lean between 1 and 2 degrees to the right when shooting at eye level! Figuring out which way to adjust with a WLF gets a little confusing, but my eye seems to notice the slant easily enough that at least I *do* fix it, even if I wobble the camera in strange directions for a while first.

Go to the store and buy some Doctor Scholls inserts. Put one in the shoe of the foot you lean. If it's not enough put the other one in there too.
6x6 because Hasselblad has been telling us for decades that square is the perfect format for photography. And of course I truly believe that because they told me so.
hehe, it's all downhill from here
Well, I skipped the m645 and I ended up finding an rb67 with a 127mm on CL for $250. Absolutely mint. Its weight is beastly, but I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with it!
Really- who wants to carry an RB67 uphill??
My point is that I rarely find my self shooting portrait orientation. Now, maybe this is something I'll learn to appreciate and do eventually, but not for now.
Sorry, I think there may be some confusion. We're talking about portrait orientation - not portraits.
The word on the street is that the RB67 makes excellent boat anchors.
The problem is that the 645 must be tilted on its side to get portrait orientation...
The problem is that the 645 must be tilted on its side to get portrait orientation, the RB has a rotating back that allows the camera to stay upright. That makes the RB much easier to use than the 645 in portrait orientation.

I understand, but I rarely shoot in portrait orientation. So I don't value rotating backs very much. That's been a point I've made and I thought I was being clear, guess not.
