Axis trio, revisited

Another one pretty hot off the press!  I really don’t need any more camera equipment…however…when something’s too good a deal to pass up I’ll take the opportunity to do some updating…

I admit that back when I was shooting the Canon 7, one of the reasons I wanted that particular camera was the meter, but really learning my light and how to expose properly in any lighting conditions has stood me in good stead far more than relying on a meter.  And the post where I began to learn that was also where I put my first Axis Trio picture.

I haven’t shot Ferrania film in a few years, in fact I hear they had to get rescued/bought out, but I haven’t heard anything out of them for a while.  Thankfully there is still some of their film available at FPP.  Now that I have two new Canon rangefinders I’m looking forward to shooting a bit more of it.  And of course my WWII-era German Leitz lenses.

I couldn’t quite decide on setup so I have an alternate photo, too.

Flip phone power!

Hot off the press!  When I started driving tours nearly a decade ago I was required to get a cell phone to be able to call for help on tours, prior to that I did without a phone for 5 years.  There were plenty of old guys back then who didn’t want a smart phone but over the years they joined the dark side; now only Kid Carson and I are left.  Ironically, if I break down somewhere on tours, I rarely have cell service.
