Troubles in Russia

 Noo - the police were very helpful, the soup (as always) very tasteful. But the weather was very dark,
 I underestimated that.
And then there was the MIR 10A - too bulky. I don't like a camerastrap around my neck,
I put my three cameras in my pockets, 10A was too heavy. (P 1+2)

So I took most pics with the (scratched) ЛОМО 135М. (P 3-6)

Back-up camera:
 the half-frame Чайка ll

Then and now 81

The church "on the blood" of czar Alexander.

The 2017 Christmas Lecture

 STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
 - and there's no
"lecture",
 just use your eyes.

The big man, obviously loved,

the old woman,
enjoying Chopins second nocturne.

Eternal friendship













Digital kids

Düsseldorf in the sixties






And Düsseldorf now.

Half frame Чайка

18x24 Half frame.

I think it's best for small groups like these,
not for the big landscapes.

Чайка-II performs vèry well with the
28mm Индустар-69,
Fuji200 in vèry tired Colortec.

Deutschland

Yes of course I also was in Germany.
With some of the big names:
DDR PRAKTICA (top),
third Reich LEITZ and the
BRD ZEISS (left).

Look below for Russia, Italy and the Netherlands

Nederland

And (see posts below) of course I made some pics in the Netherlands; with the 1928 Brownie 116, and the fifties Colorsnap and the Argus + Cintar.

Firenze

 And I also (see post below) was in Firenze, once again.
With the 120 Ferrania Eura, the 127 Bencini and Ibis, and my "new" 135 Closter Sport.
