Zitronenmohnmuffin

Wàtt?
Ja, war kein Wildblaubeermuffin zu sehen. Kann man ruhig mal probieren.
Das Bild trügt, übrigens. Herrliche Sonne, freundliches Volk auf der Strasse. Ich werf' natürlich noch einen letzten Blick auf den Tausendfüssler, mit der мир-1, aber eigentlich komme ich nur um Safran Risotto zu kaufen, gibt's bei uns nicht.

Zuhause stellt sich heraus dass die ± 70 Jahre alte D-11 immer noch funktioniert, aber jetzt is er alle, schade. Ich zersäge das Kürbiskernige von Terbuyken, harte Arbeit, die sich aber lohnt.

M39 - the 2013 Easter Lecture...

M39 - the famous screw-Leica, and all those Russian clones, early Zenits and other cameras. Interchangable lenses, wòw!

"Well, that's not entirely accurate,mr. president..." (Independence Day)

Looking for some WA for my фед, I bought that "widely available" индустар-69 and discovered that it's half-frame, ànd (I had a hell of a time finding a naked чайка) the film-plane distance is also different: the Elmar's don't fit the чайка either.

Then I bought the мир-1 "Grand Prix Brussels 1958", only to discover that this lens is nòt for CRF's. Sigh! So I ordered a 39/42 ring in Scotland and almost wrecked my Praktica. Ordered one in China but that hasn't arrived yet and then I could not wait any longer, I hàd to test it so wrapped that plumber-stuff around it (for concentricity) and glued it to the poor old LTL 3! Looks very posh!

"Are you serious...?"
Yes, I'm a daredevil. No respect for cameras whatsoever. But because even glue has some "thickness", infinite still came a lot nearer, so it is not the sharpest 37mm ever (and AgfaOrtho never gives that suggestion of sharpness).

Legendary M39 - too small, slow, nòt universal. But when I'm using my wartime Elmar on the Frankenstein it feels very, very right.
