We lived at this horrible apartment on Cherokee off of Hollywood Blvd. (why would anyone in their right mind want to live off of Hollywood Blvd?). The apt management company seemed like their goal was to find young, dumb people (fresh off the bus to LA) who could trick their parents into cosigning the lease. In 2007, our studio rented for $1250 a month (which seems like a steal now), but I was only making $8.25/hr as a lens technician...so...I was living off of hotdogs and instant ramen. At any rate, one of the best things was the building had rooftop access and I had a recently Sweeney-fied Jupiter-3. I love these Jim!
Thanks! The Sweeney-fied Jupiter-3 works well...even if the inherent build quality of the lens is sub-optimal.
