I drove down to Odense from Lindome in the evening rather than the morning, as I usually do. That put the sun in my face. I set the camera to center-weighted metering and added +0.7 EV to keep it from going over the top and was surprised how the lens held up.

Kept to myself for the most part. After work I took a long walk down to the center of Odense, passing Fotolsen on Albanigade on the way. He had a screw mount, collapsible Summicron tried it out on my IIIf that I had with me.

He also had a Sigma 30/1.4 in a Nikon mount so I tried it out too, using a D80 that I also had with me.

I didn’t buy the Summicron at the time and put an Elmar (50/3.5) back on the IIIf for the rest of my walk:

I’m not real sure why I keep doing this. I’ll be updating past weeks shortly. I haven’t quit, I’ve just not uploaded anything.

It doesn’t really get much easier, even as time goes by.

Walking to work in Odense, Denmark:

Back at home, Ewa is working on weekends to get papers marked and ready for the students’ final grades.

All were taken with a Leica IIIf and a 50/3.5 Elmar (with a shade). The last three were taken with the aperture wide-open.

Catching up, catching up …

This is a typical part of my life … waiting at train stations.

It’s been a while … Rebecca … in her pajamas

In a rut. I’ve had the equivalent of a writer’s block. I don’t know why.

I’ve been busy lately with several projects. A Blurb book, a book of photographs by photographers who use Rollei cameras, is one of them.
