Re: [KOML] aerial photos

Jim,

You may just need more practice with the KO.  I've used one in aerial work
for a couple of years now and at first I kept going back to the 35, but
after some practice I got used to the KO.  Sure makes enlargements much
easier.  By the way what type of plane are you using and are you the pilot.
 I own and fly a Piper Tripacer and take most of my work with the door off,
works great.

Anyone else doing much aerial work, I still have a lot to learn
