In fact, all three images come from a roll of Ilford Delta 100 which I shot with my newly acquired Commie Camera, an East German Pentacon Six TL (as the name implies, it is a 6x6 medium format camera). I bought it from a guy in the Ukraine with an 80mm normal lens, and added a 50mm wide angle from the Czech Republic--in total at a cost lower than a single Hasselblad magazine, even counting the CLA that the camera needs. So, here are three images from last week's snow which transformed the landscape around here into something wonderful: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_6.jpg http://www.wajsman.com/2003_6alt1.jpg http://www.wajsman.com/2003_6alt2.jpg All three with the 50mm Carl Zeiss Jena Flektagon, the first two handheld, the last one on tripod. There is something neat about shooting with a camera from the early 1970s, produced at a company and in a country, which no longer exist. But I am no collector; I bought this outfit because it provides solid value for money in MF photography. I promise to be good and return to the True Path of Leica next week.
