This is fantastic. The level of resolution frees up the mind. A novel, as opposed to a news article.

This roll of Tri-X didn't survive the long hibernation all to well (expired 1981). Nonetheless I like this street snap from a recent trip to Italy... 🙂

I have found a peculiar phenomena when shooting my MDa composing a particular object with all the elements falling into place, which results in a marked increase in the heat of the silver chrome of the MDa. I thought perhaps that it was coincidental and decided to test this phenomena with a kind of placebo "garbage" shot to see if there was a heat register, and sure enough, there was a definite cooling of the silver chrome confronted with visual garbage. So, putting the question directly to you, given you have the wondrous black chrome Canadian MD-2, did you perceive to your touch any elevated heat factor with your riverside landscape? Or, do you call this a riverscape, or perhaps just an escape? Whatever, it's hot.

Thank you Rog, that's really interesting. I was hesitant to disclose my MD-2s peculiarities--but since you open the box: No, no heating or  cooling of the  top plate of the MD2.... And I'm happy about that because otherwise  I'd be in constant fear my index finger might freeze  on the "Leitz" logo.... 

No, with the MD2  it´s a hidden, undocumented feature; a man-machine thing.  As soon as your MDa would become "hot", my shutter release button will say  " Yes, Yes, Yesss !! " by a vibration, inducing a kind of tingling, electric feeling on my finger tip. "Garbage" on the other hand  is indicated by "No, no,  NOOO !!! " ; a rotation of the shutter release button, clearly a different feeling, not to be mistaken. 

As you know, the late Dr. Walter Mandler was on of the heroes of Midland, leaving behind a huge following of enthusiasts, still hailing the "Mandler Glow" , the "Mandler Magic" , " Mandlers  little gem" and so forth. Critics of this cult say  the teaching can be reduced to the slogan: better pictures by more abberrations and less contrast... but that´s a different story.  The interesting thing is, the Mandler spirit might have found it´s way into that MD2 ! Walter put an end to calculating by spreadsheets but got the computer into camera construction ! And here my suspicion: Mandler gave up the space consuming metering system to make room for the MM MD , the integrated circuitry of Mandler´s man machine device !  Possibly, heating or cooling the metal is V1, a clumsy effort of the Wetzlar crew, while my rotation of the shutter release is at least V 2...who knows. Perhaps there's even a menu hidden somewhere so you can choose....?  Sigh, so little do we know, so much research to be done.... I'm off now to  get the   feeling again ( of the magic shutter release ) ... 😇

Back to real medium format, as opposed to the faux kind. TMax 100 as promised, but exposed at 200 and developed in Diafine, just because it works! Also trying out a new to me Sonnar 250/5.6. Usual lighting set up.
