In the interim I have been to Slovakia, Hungary and Austria, celebrated my daughter's graduation from high school and then stood vigil at the hospital during her scoliosis surgery (she's now two inches taller! annd healing well). I thought of Ted and his great medical setting shots while there. I bought a Zorki (circa 1950) in Bratislava for 35 USD. I shot a test roll and it seems to either have rangefinder adjustment problems or a lens problems (or both). I just shot a roll w/ a Voigtlander 15 MM on it ... maybe it will be a good body for that lens? I will develop the roll this weekend and find out? It sure is a funky camera... If nothing else, it looks pretty cool. The big photo news for me is that I have decided to take the B&W darkroom plunge... I have an eye on a enlarger and am making a list (and checking it twice) of all the sundry required darkroom items . Sage darkroom startup advice welcome off-list at: mailto:matthew.kollasch@uni.edu When in Slovakia I nearly ran into fellow LUG-er Frank Fillipone, but our schedules wouldn't allow us to get any closer that exchanging notes via the staff at Hotel 16... two shutterbugs passing ... The shutter has been clicking hither and yon... evidence can be found at updated PAW pages, starting with this URL: http://www.uni.edu/kollasch/photo/paw/pages/week-16.htm It is good to be back. /matt
