interesting, Jeff. perhaps the marketing of it was different than the intention for inventing it. from what i've always understood, they were designed to photograph at strange angles or when the camera was lower/higher than comfortable for the eye. in an interview i read once, levitt referred to it as a 'winkelsucher' which translates (i think) to angle seeker/finder.
what's interesting now, as digital photography and cinema tools have become one, is how one can be shooting video with a camera that looks like it is strictly for stills. so, one can attain candid footage in a different (easier, perhaps?) way than with motion picture film cameras.
