I took some shots at the RF event where Mickey and I met. The first is a pic of the table that shows the new Bessa L with CV 21/4 lens I bought from Joe (back alley) and the XA I bought from Rick (Byuphoto). Taken with my Fed 2 and Jupiter 8 lens. The smart looking Bessa R2a next to the Bessa L belonged to another photographer.  We met in Toronto's Distillery District at a coffee shop called Balzac's. A view from inside Balzac's taken with the 21mm.  Looking down the stairs inside Balzac's  Signs above some of the shop fronts  Lots of texture and patterns along the walkways  And even a friendly penguin  I don't know what these things are called, but they're rather strange. This group kept riding through like a kind of mime troupe, never saying anything  Gene |

Nice Blue Eh. I like the inside shot of Balzac's taken with the 21mm. Is that the VC 21/F4? You guys just have too much fun down in T.O. I have seen those people movers before but darned if I can think of the name. Wait a minute Segway or such rings a bell. Lovely B&Ws all of them. Bob Memory is not that bad after all www.segway.com/ |

Great B&W's, Gene. Are all your pictures so well done, or do you just take hundreds and hundreds of them, so the ones you show here are all neat?  ----- BTW -- I'm still looking at that Voigtlander Bessa L on Stephen Gandy's site. I have a couple of Jupiter lenses that will fit it...but I'd really like one of the ones that come with it...but I'd have to sell some of the current collection to get it*...buying that old Vette really wasted my "playin' around" money this year! *Sorry, my little Mamiya buddies...I was talking about the non-Mamiya part...honest! |

Thanks Ron. I'm a fairly low-volume shooter with film, but I don't post the mediocre ones or the duds (plenty of both). The last shot was accidentally underexposed. The Bessa L with CV 21/4 was new to me and I was metering toward the sun and forgot how much sky the wa lens would take in. I should have opened up at least one stop, maybe two.
I like the Bessa L quite a lot. No RF as you know, so it works easiest with wideangles where there's plenty of leeway in the dof. The cam has good metering, modern swing-back loading, and a nice copal-square vertical metal shutter. It's very light and slim and with the also slim 21/4, fits neatly into a corner of my camera bag.
