new lens, rough scan, a moment of commotion...

[luigi bertolotti]

New Summicron 35 Asph arrived, and time has come to put apart it's much older grandfather ... (8 elements , Wetzlar '63)... I'll keep it with care, but it's possible I'll no more mount it on M8... tonight, when i transferred the UVIR from one to the other, I felt a certain commotion... it took SO MANY pics. So I decided, to share its sentiments , to post a pic taken with it, which gives to me, too, the sense of time passing....
It was June 1991 - honeymoon in Brittany... M4 self timer... and that old Summicron that is going to retirement,,,

Heep, Howard... I was unconscious of the lighthouse... ... simply found a place on the rock of Pointe du Raz to keep horizontal M4 body... the ethernal problem of selftimer users... (before digital made so simple to adjust horizons...)

Luigi,

A special shot and one to treasure!

The intense look on your face suggests that you operated the M4 through mind control rather than a self-timer.
