Having been putting a camera up to my eye or my eyeglasses since the 60s I now spend time looking around on the web to find photography and photographic information that delights my appetite for the result of careful viewing of the planet and its inhabitants. And man, is that a load of fun.

cameras out of storage

I shot some film the other day - did not finish the roll but at least a start back to film.  Not to say I am done with digital.  The camera was a Nikon Photomic with a Nikkor non AI 85mm f1.8 lens and the film was HP5.  The light meter is dead in the Photomic, so I just shot at 2.8 and 1/60 for some indoor shots

.

 I am also looking to restart using my Cosina Voigtlander Bessa R rangefinder with interchangeable lenses. The lenses I have for the R are (nice sound to that sentence) are the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f1.5, the Voigtlander Classic 35mm F2.5 and a Soviet 85mm f2.0 lens.   It is a fully manual camera with an excellent viewfinder and built in light meter.
