     Actually the neat thing about APS cameras, is that it takes *one*
format of picture, but encodes on the magnetic strip on the film which
format you were looking at through the viewfinder.  It then uses those
preferences to print the picture.
     The neat thing is that you can go in for a reprint and override the
selection you made and change the crop in the printer.


     OB Vanagon:  The Vanagon roof can be somewhat sturdy, if you find
the places where the strucural ribs are under the skin.  Still, I'd be a
bit leary about jumping around on the roof of one.  If one were going to
make a practice of it, I'd make a pipe rack with a big cargo cage on the
roof in which to stand.
