My driver got a visit from the police after I took this picture. You should not take pictures of army cars during NATO exercise apparently .

It is a Peugeot P4, a variant of the G-Wagen (of course).

P.S: M10 + Zeiss Planar ZM 2,0/50

Photographing cars is so near to terrorism that I am surprised we are allowed to carry cameras within an 8km (5 mile) range. 😫

FFS, the authorities must learn that their stupidity is ruining a celebration of peace this weekend ... 100 years after the Great War ended.

2 4WD cars hardly amount to a strategic force. Sorry to rant but the anal retentive authoritarians are ruining society for normal human beings. They really need to grow up!

Rant over!!

We are living in strange and new times. I did my conscription in 1990. It was the first year of general leave every weekend. It was also the year conscription went from 15 to 12 months in the air force that I served. After that I did one week service every year in the home guard  as everybody did back then, and I remember the last big NATO exercise around here in the mid-nineties . It seemed nobody thought about russian spies then. 

The picture shows me in uniform in 1990 sitting on top of the turret of the german battleship Gneisenau with the Trondheim fjord in the back ground. I was using a Canon A1 then. I think this was taken with a 28mm, but I am not sure. 

PS: It is also 50 years since The Beatles White Album. This weekend they released 77 new demoes and outtakes. I will listen to that, and I will think how strange it is that it was 50 years since the Great War ended when that album was released.

Rollie TLR has a 75/80 mm fixed lens.  Millions of wonderful pix have been taken with those cameras.  A 50 is very close to the same angle of view if the camera is held landscape mode.  

Years back Leica Photographie had user pictures published and annually charted the lens usage.  50 was always #1, 35 # 2,  & 90#3.   

My first camera was a Waltz Envoy with fixed 50 mm 2.0 Nikon.   I cried for wider & longer and when money became available,  I filled up a bag.  

Now after 60 years of doing this,  I am back to 50 mm.   I think it frequently gets a bad rap.  But to each is own depending on what you photograph.  I use wides for indoor and city streets and 90/135 for head shots.  Right now a 50 Rigid is on my M9,  but usually a Elmar M 2.8 is there.   I have two copies of the 2.8 M, chrome & black and an original from 1950`s.   Both the original and Rigid are near to mint condition.  Lots of luck finding that today.
