Toland is amazing. Just to reiterate Christopher Doyle (and Andrew Lau Wai-Keung), if you haven't seen any of Wong Kar Wai's work, it is highly recommended. Chungking Express is probably my favorite, but 2046 is another good example. He really captures the essence of life in Hong Kong, and his framing in hallways and doorways to give a feeling of the cramped nature of the city is quite moving. It is interesting to see how one can convey a vertical city in a largely wide/horizontal medium.

@nostatic - I keep meaning to watch 2046, thanks for reminding me - it's now on my rental list :)

@thomas - Thanks for letting me know how that system works - to be honest I think that would do the job nicely for me. I'm also beginning to think that I'm going to end up with a Ricoh AND a panaleica ;). Looks Like I'm going to have to postpone my plans for that nice Oly E-3.
