Leica IIIa, first real images….
I finally came around to developing the first film that were not only test images for my Leica IIIa.
All shot on Fomapan 100, a film I’m not sure I like, really. Too bad, as it’s real cheap….
The lens I used is my Summitar 50mm f:2.0, slightly hazy and with a nice scratch on the front lens. Anyways, it produces nice pictures I think, and has a fine swirly bokeh as seen here:

Downsizing….(again)!
Yeah, I got this very beautiful Leica IIIa which is bound to be my weapon of choice from now on.
I have some very nice 50mm lenses with it, a Summitar, a Summar that’s ‘a bit’ hazy and an Industar 50/3.5 and a Jupiter 8 on the way from Mother Russia.
Then I thought about my other cameras, the Lomo, the XA2 and of course the Canon A-1 and T90 with their mighty lenses. What about them? Continue reading “Downsizing….(again)!”
Annoying little Wonder!
I’ve received a present!
It’s not Christmas, it’s not my birthday, but I received a present.
A very kind gent in the U.K. thought my photographs not too shabby and decided to part with his unused Leica IIIa. He sent it to me for the price of postage! Continue reading “Annoying little Wonder!”
