I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and tonality of the pics on this roll. I remember making small prints of these photos back then, and thinking of them as so-so family snaps. I was very new to the darkroom then. Now, with 41 years of photography behind me, I see that they are much better than I originally thought. And precious, as I have few pictures of that side of my family. Later that year, I sold the Canon and got an M2 and DR Summicron. For some reason, I was never confident manually focusing an SLR. When the local camera store manager put the M2 in my hands, I knew it was *my* camera. The DR remains one of my favorite lenses. But I must say, the Canon SLR's stock 50/1.8 wasn't bad at all. --Peter Marty Deveney wrote: > Fine name!
