Really great images, Daniel. 

I'm a 100% hack, but still use my IIIf plenty. I wish it had a faster top 
shutter
speed and that getting film into it wasn't a dexterity test for elves, but
there's no easier and quicker way to get my favorite older Japanese thread 
mount
lenses in front of some film. Also, for the first ten seconds when I pick it 
up
I'm just a teensy bit proud of my species.

A IIIf, Elmar and Fomapan developed in HC-110 doesn't compare with the
latest and greatest, that is, it doesn't offer much in the way of
list-discourse, but I like the results and I know some of you do too.
It's my way of saying I'm still around and sending a light greeting
from the dark north.

Take care of yourselves and I hope the new year will continue being as
nice to us as the one we made it through.

Daniel
