4Daagse (2)
"In mijn ouwe Opel had ik altijd een hamer bij me" zeg ik. Zegt de man van de SuperSnipe "startmotor, zeker." Bij de oldtimers in Wijchen.
In de binnenstad feest als altijd, en mooi weer dit keer. Prima.
E In the Smena my last 1973 FP3, but this time developed in fine grain Russian and as I expected: no fog, nice, crisp and clear. How did they do that!

4 Days Marches Nijmegen

And I was absolutely fascinated by this canopy.
Still some FP3 in the half-frame Чайка-2, last drop of sixties Microphen.

The 2013 Summer Lecture
Well, not a "Lecture", more a thought.
Yesterday I had a conversation about the lens I was using, the post war U.S. Zone Sandmar. And while driving home I thought about the different approach of America and Russia.
The Russians had a great respect for the German optical industry - and took everything they could. Contax became Киев, Zeiss became "aus Jena". Agfa-Wolfen became Orwo and so on.
The Americans didn't bother - that's the right word. My Elmar 9cm was made while they marched into Wetzlar - I have a picture of that, with the Leica building - and the work just never stopped!
Chemicals and silver were of course scarse, but in 1946 Perutz was allowed to produce films again.
And for my very American Argus I not only have that German Sandmar, but also the 135mm Robin: Soligor, Japan!
Yes, collectors know: you can find that "U.S. stamp" on the products, but they kept being German (or Japanese) and not American.
Interesting, isn't it?
Top picture: Berlin 1945. Bottom: Düsseldorf 2013, with that 100mm Sandmar on the Argus.

Zwei Welten
Heute in Düsseldorf: drei Knirpse die kaum lesen und schreiben können machen selbstverständlich für zuhause einige Digibilder und ich mach' davon mit meinem "Besatzungs-Tele-Sandmar" auf 1973 FP3 ein Analogphoto das ich dann noch in sechziger Microphen entwickeln muss. Morgen (oben) mehr darüber.
Aber zuvor geniesse ich bruschetta bei Mona Lisa (Wo? Buongiorno auf der Kö natürlich - wo denn sonst) und Segafredo bei Vecchio.

Juli 1966
Gefunden! (s.u.)
Ich war damals sehr Kirmesbegeistert - einige Jahre später wussten meine Schüler: in Oktober (Nimwegener Kirmes): kein Unterricht. Das waren Zeiten...
Und alles noch Handarbeit wie man hier oben in Oberkassel sieht. Sah.
Und ich mit meiner Canon FX und 1,8 50mm dabei.
Links: heute.
Auch gut.
