Thanks for the comments.
Technically, it was a studio shot with quite strong lighting and a black background. This was then moved onto a black canvas in Photoshop and the size of the subject reduced until I was happy with the scale of the figure.

It depends what you are meaning by a manual lens. Manual focus? Manual stop down?
Let's take manual focus, where it really is just a matter of turning the focusing ring until the image is sharp in the viewfinder. What part of the image is up to the photographer.
To make focusing easier, make sure the dioptre correction is set up. Look at a blank wall or sky and turn the dioptre adjustment until the etched lines in the viewfinder are sharpest. That will adjust the viewfinder for your eyesight.

Yes, it's still best to freeze it. Films will last a very long time.
Sometimes this can be remarkable. I have had photo paper from the 1940s that was still usable, and even glass plates from the 1930s that could still be used. Albeit at a speed of ISO 1.

Hmm, a new standard. Now products are ridiculed not before they are used, not before they are released, but whilst they are still in development. Interesting.

Thanks Giorgio, this has all been taken on board already, when it was discussed on a previous thread. It's part of the ongoing discussion by management as to the direction of PU. They do listen.
It's worth bearing in mind though that it has to be balanced against the wishes of those who like the current setup and don't want it changed. There are also those who tell us by PM but don't necessarily want to get involved in a public discussion.

It's fine in its own context, but it makes it a different message IMHO. My thought was to minimise the man, hence the title "Isolation", but of course the format shape and degree of reduction have endless possibilities in themselves.
