winter is fully engaged

Lots and lots of snow, forecasters keep thumbing through their thesauri looking for new terms: flurries, snow squalls, light snow, flurries heavy at times, snow, etc.

I tend not to take the digicam out in such anti-electronic weather - I may take out one of my old film SLRs, a Pentax Spotmatic or maybe a Nikon (FM or FM2) and may go with an extreme wide angle lens (20mm Carl Zeiss Flektagon M42 mount or an old Nikkor 20mm f4 AI'd lens) or maybe 35mm angle of view, hard to beat a Super Takumar 35mm f3.5 lens for quality and the Nikkor AI 35mm f2 is no slouch either.

I will be adding +1 f stop at least in exposure for all the whiteness that has piled up.
