Hmmm. Some of the images for snapchat.html failed to transfer. I am moving this week, but will try to get these fixed the next time I am in front of my PC.
Really glad to see you back. Really sorry you've got the disease - hoping for your fast recovery. Though with your life on the move, it's surprising how you've stayed clear of it for so long. That photo with the rainbow Z might get you jailed for 15 years over here. (。﹏。*) Never heard of Nishinari-ku; but on some photos it just looks a bit more like Southeast Asia. Hoping to hear from you again soon.
Also, revisiting your beige whales article, I realised I have a Leica clone (FED I) collecting dust on my shelve. It doesn't have the bottom cap, and I don't think this camera is really in a reparable state anymore; however, recently I realized that the lens is actually detachable, and I was able to put it on my Olympus through a MFT/M39 adapter, although with little success due to the lens' design.
Russian lenses are sort of funky. Some of them are M39 mount but have a slightly different distance from the rear glass to the film plate, throwing focus out of wack if adapted.
And yes, I’m surprised I made it this long all things considered. So many close calls over the years… Oh well, it’s honestly not so bad. Just very sleepy. I hope you’re doing well. Send some update emails when you get the chance!
