Hi,
nice shot, Boris.
Quite different from Frank's latest cyclist shots ;-)
Of course, it's a matter of training shotting without viewfinder. I've
been doing that for many years, starting with a Kodak Retina IIIc I got
from my grandfather. With it's leaf shutter, it's areal stealth camera.
Hi Pancho...
I have at least 4 Retina IIIc's (!) and I totally agree that it's
shutter is very quiet.
I"ve been deciding which is the first and second best of the batch, as
I'll keep those (primary plus backup for parts...) and put the rest up
for sale.
I also have a lovely IIa that's even smaller! With it's Retina-Xenon
f/2.0 50mm lens, it's a great little camera! Compur-Rapid leaf shutter.
