Life's easier when you can write off others as monsters, as demons, as horrible threats that must be hated and feared. The thing is, you can't do that without becoming them, just a little.

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a 1959 Canon P rangefinder.  A couple of days ago or so my lens arrived: A nearly mint condition Jupiter-8 (50mm f2.0 Zeiss Sonnar clone) from 1956.  Test roll this weekend, photos to follow!

Wanting

It's an important life lesson to learn to distinguish between what you think you *should* want and what you actually *do* want.  If you don't, you may end up becoming a doctor when what you really want is to become a dancer.  Or vice versa.

1938 Zeiss Ikon 532/16 Super Ikonta B…sadly, a torn bellows has put her out of commission for now.

Update: This one was sold to another Zeiss Ikon enthusiast in New York.  Hopefully it will be back in service soon!  Cameras like this need to be used.
