        Once more - a beanbag type thing again proves invaluable
        with the 6x7. I have just the standard prism, but very often 
        I will just use the main screen below it, especially if I am
        framing for a full-frame scene on E-6. The "bag-o-rice in the 
        cushion case" is most excellent for this. Just nudge things 
        around until correct, hit the MLU, wait a sec or so - then
        fire the shutter w/ firming pressure holding all in place.
