Back in Westfield, NJ, Walking around behind the businesses. The sterile store fronts in this “bubble town” are lovely with their windows and bucolic shoppers (I do live here), but the backs of the stores are where the interesting stuff is. This all with the 120 film LCA-120 ultra wide angle P&S.

Got a new, to me of course, Nikon S2 Rangefinder camera from Igor’s Camera Exchange (highly recommended, by the way), got it CLA’s by Pro Camera in Charlottesville, VA (also great guys and great work). Loaded it up with Delta 100, which I love in HC-100 Dil B and went to a local, very tired nature preserve.

Just got my new IIa 016 back from Chris Sherlock today. Boy, he does good work. My only other Retina is a IIIc 021 (non-working meter) so now I have a comparison of two cameras that were a few years apart. 1. Size / Weight difference – It’s significant when you pick up the cameras. That increased top holding the meter makes the IIIc camera feel a lot bigger. In addition, the front of the IIa is flat, whereas the IIIc is curved, which makes the IIa easier to hold and it feels narrower. The overall impression is very different
