The Czickness LII….it is the grey time of year. Tungsten Grey that is…

About a week ago, I picked up a 70 year old Leica IIIf and added a 60 year old Canon 50mm f1.4 LTM lens. I had to do a bit of adjustment to the rangefinder on the Leica but now that it is done, the camera shoots really well. The picture clarity below is not as good as what I have due to the pics being transferred through my phone. Phones screw pictures up.

1- Dad had a Leica and a shift lens (which I loved). Buy the time I figured he wasn't using it anymore and would let me have it, I learned he had traded it off a decade earlier. The shift lens let you control perspective.

2- Black and white photos with modern cars confuse my brain. Please keep your B&W photos period correct. Dogs a fine as they are timeless.

It's like a ponzi scheme in here.

First we were buyers. Now we need to develop new buyers to buy our extras.

OK...ponzi scheme it is.

I would imagine the number of places developing and printing 35mm film have dropped off over the years. Has it become more of a specialized trade?

You would be surprised at how active the field is. It fell off a lot but is still pretty good

Those old Leicas were great cameras at the time.

Today I got to watch the FedEx driver deliver my $500 order from Cerakote to the neighbors across the street. It's really hard to tell the difference between house numbers, especially when 3 of the 4 numbers are different.

You're lucky. My fedex drivers would have left it on the street a block over...and I mean ON the street in the rain.

Maybe one of them is secretly in this group and they're paying you back for all of the enabling you provide?

FedEx driver walked over and handed me my case of ammo from AE Ammo when I was out mowing the front yard earlier.

The gardener and I celebrated the anniversary of my heart surgery today, good to be alive. She told me she was scared when I went in and even more scared when I went home as she was uncertain if she could care for me. I told her courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway. She has courage.

And we are also glad you're still around.
