Ken,

Should you go ahead with this, please let us all know what you think - either way.

Thanks....

Martin,

I was embarassed to metion about looking at the back of the camera, but yes! The funny thing is, I did that one time and this old guy (REALLY old guy) said "Gee, do they still show you the picture number in the little red window?"

Don,

TLR's were a dream come true for lens builders - all add-ons came in sets - viewing and taking. Essentially, these were the first Medium Formats - leading to the Bronicas, Hasseblads (sp), Pentax etc. I used Extachrome ASA 64 for 2 1/4 slides. Had the Ansco large format projector. Wow,them was pitchers, Boy!

Dang!

Have I got my teeth in too?

Just to go along with this whole aged thing, I loaded up my first Spotmatic this morning and slapped on my trusty 50mm 1.4 Takumar. Love what it does with autumn colours.

Keep forgetting to wind the film! 44 years and I've forgotten already!

Evil digital cameras!

Automated smiley! (See, I can learn......)

I've always liked you Martin!

Now help me find my glasses.

: )

Clarky,

You're correct!

That's me on the very RIGHT!

I'm actually typing this on an old Remington Rand typwriter and scanning it into this new fangled thingy called the interweb.

: ) (manual smiley).

Well, that tears it! I'm OLD!

I still use the Sekonic light meter and the Yashica Mat camera in the last shot! Two of the three bellows cameras are in my collection.

I also have the Kodak Flash bellows camera in the second to last shot.



Nice photographs youngster!

Well done.

I'll bet the time of day, unique lighting and maximum aperture were not what you would have chosen - but look at the result!

Love the colours.

I believe Che did all his reconnaisence with Russian screw mount equipment. Never got the chance to try Spotmatics.

A worthy avatar.

Poifict!

Haydn,

Glad the purchase went so well.

Just so I don't ask every time you post, can you update your info to show "Location: Manchester"? Maybe an avatar with the Manchester United logo?
