Exactly, that's why the 165/4 leaf shutter lens has quickly become a favorite of mine when working with the 6x7. It's the only lens I use for outdoor portraits, but I've also found it's exactly right for a lot of other things where you need a higher shutter speed and fill flash. I'm sometimes required to shoot underhood engine shots of cars. Fill is mandatory, and the 165 is exactly the right focal length. Paul
