February PUG - 'Black and White' - is UP

G'day all. Another good sized gallery this month, very varied in scope and content so it's difficult to pick a favourite, although Alan's interpretation of the theme was innovative... We have one submission with a Ricoh GXR which, if the rules are strictly applied should be ineligible. However,

A beautiful gallery, once again... My favorite is Mark Cassino's superb macro : Ammonite... Some also took my attention longer than others like the ones below: - Street Monitor by Pat Temmerman - Long Abandoned by Darren Addy - Lighted by the Blind by Bruce M. Walker - Firetruck on the Route-66 C

A most enjoyable gallery. Thanks once again, Brian. Particularly loved Dario's People and Christine's Waiting -- great symmetry in that. Also have to mention P.J.'s Bench Seat, Rick's Huh?? and Darren's Long Abandoned. I'm all for accepting the Ricoh GXR. We can treat it as a step brother. Anyway

Excellent gallery! Many excellent shots. Christine's "Apple Line", Darren's "Long Abandoned" and Ann's "We're No Angels" stand out. Including Ricoh gear seems fine to me... Would that mean that mages made with a Super Ricofhlex TLR would be allowed? On 2/7/2016 5:12 AM, Brian Walters wrote:

What's a Ricohflex TLR? http://mattsclassiccameras.com/ricohflex_super.html The center of the frame is actually *very* sharp, but would be the area in a square drawn by vertical and horizontal 1/3rd lines. Outside of that area it is just sharp to soft around the edges. A light, compact and in
