I am primarily a monochrome photographer, so the SC makes sense for me. The tones it has with a nice film are sublime

Rest in power Carolann, I am glad that 2 of the 3 grandkids were able to be there with you today. In indigenous culture, there are no goodbyes, only, Ndm al gyik niidsn (until we next meet)

There’s also a Fujinon variant in M42

It’s a Tessar design, with an extra element to make it a bit faster than 2.8, but not enough to make it all the way to 2.0

I have a Ricoh 55/2.2 I love, it’s a fun lens with some swirly bokeh and soap bubble, in the right conditions

Is it a 55/1.4? There is a possibility that is a Tomioka, I know Ricoh was one of the rebadged lenses at one point.

I used to have one of those, lovely lenses, for the right situation, but too contrasty for my taste when it came to portraits, so I traded in towards a Dual Range Summicron

It’s been a film stock I have only the past few years fallen into appreciation with, I intend to continue to work with it.

This evening I learned that the father of one of my closest friends growing up has passed away, and it is hitting me very hard.

Walking around Toronto with @wbsmith200.bsky.social , I spotted this scene from the main road, and walked down the side street to document this. I liked the way the light was here
