George! I would never do that. Just sharing. Pardon the slight blemish on the lens cap, that is my user cap, the perfect cap is stored.
Rafael - "So I don't feel so bad"?? I lament the loss of my 18mm and you post pics of two immaculate, pristine, absolutely impeccable18mms, with original lens caps, hoods and even the box.....what? to comfort me?? Yeah George and Samy, salt and lots of it. If I weren't already buying a 35mm LTM I'd be bidding on an 18mm as we speak.
Linhof Master Technika, Nikkor-SW 90 f8 lens, Tri-X 320. Developed in Cinestill Df96 monobath, using the SP445 daylight tank. No darkroom! Used Orange #21 filter for the sky.
Plenty of history in this over 200 year-old structure:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifton_Park,_Baltimore
The building was once owned by philanthropist Johns Hopkins. He planned to build a university on land where the Clifton mansion is located. However, after his death, the plans changed and the famous university named after him is a couple miles west, in the Mount Vernon-Belvedere area.
Clifton Mansion has a mixed history. http://civicworks.com/clifton-mansion/
Hopkins himself was an anti-slavery advocate. However, the original owner used slave labour to build the structure, and slaves also worked in the orchards and fields of what's now Clifton Park.

Nice job with the Cinestill monobath Samy. Good contrast!

Just trying to get you to commit the deed.
Rafael - I made a low offer on a Nikon S 35mm f2.5 rangefinder lens. The adapter is tiny for those on a Z7. It's in wonderful condition, not the pristine perfection of your lenses of course, but pretty good. Anyway, I made the offer last week thinking it was hopeless and I'd be outbid in a second but I woke up today and here I am, 300 euros poorer. So I'm probably not going to 'commit any more deeds' for a while. Now I have to buy the adapter.
Colin- is that how everyone is in London now, no masks, no social distancing? I can't go to Manchester without tests and a 14 day quarantine yet in London everyone's walking around like nothing is happening? The girl In the 5th photo has very prominent veins in her legs - is that an IR effect?
Colin
Condolences
It is tough enough losing one member of the family, but two on the same day is really tough.
I suspect someone in the family like a parent dying is something many of us have experienced, but it doesn't get any easier knowing that. My own father died just over 14 years ago, and whereas I don't dwell on his passing, there are times when I could have done with his wisdom just to discuss how he felt about things. Now it falls to me being the eldest in the family, and I guess like him I have to come up with some sage saying that helps the younger members.
It is not a great experience, but I do take some solace as a christian in the words from the Holy Writings.
A book I read again last year from cover to cover. Amazing the expressions in there that we use in everyday speech. And so many times we fail to realise.
Hope you come through this ordeal with a good spirit.
Best regards
Steve

Ben - that is one of the lenses that will get you hooked! Be careful, it is a slippery slope after that one!
