Paxette Goes Gothic - Part 1

[nikkortorokkor]

The Braun Super Paxette III Automatic (what a mouthful) enjoyed its trip to Dunedin, the neo-gothic capital of Otago province, despite getting dropped and collecting a new dent on the top plate *sob*.

All photos were, from memory, taken with the Lithagon pictured above. I also had a 50mm with me for the trip.

St Paul's is constructed mainly from Oamaru Stone, a local limestone

I thought I'd straightened these before uploading - they seem to have a list!

The quiet wee Paxette was perfect for indoor shooting. Fuji 200 Print handled the available light really well and the 35mm Lithagon allowed hand holding down around 1/30th. This all makes for a really useful "snapshooter" despite the relatively modest f3.5 max aperture.

More Dunedin Photos to come.

Thanks all for the kind comments and to Stephen for the correction. As you might have guessed, I don't know my VRT from my MCW! Bicycles, yes, buses, no.

Basseden, I've popped the cathedral pics onto Flickr, where you should be able to view them in their original res. They are standard photo lab scans, so are not of startlingly high res, but are equal to the fairly grainy 200 print film.
