Re: The End Of The Year As We Know It
Another shot I took on the last day of 2020 was of the construction below me on the hill. The crews were putting in foundation footers that day, and I took this in between concrete loads. It wouldn't have worked as well with the big barrel truck backed up to the pumper. https://live.staticflickr.com...

Re: National Mall

Re: Archival scans
Diesels do it too, Graham. We've had a few fires around here that were started by the trains during dry spells.

Leitz Wetzlar Hektor 4.5/135
I've been putting a Leica IIIf kit together ever since my 66th birthday, and finally completed the lens group with the Hektor 4.5/135. It came with a 50mm M-Mount adapter and rear cap, the original front cap, and was supposed to come with the E39-Summitar filter mount converter but the seller took i...

Re: Fixing Agfa bellows
I've been doing that a spot a a time, will have to get the spray paint :) What about liquid electrical tape added from the inside? I used fabric paint, but it's not a permanent fix. Still, if you've got lots of pinholes, it's a quick way to plug them all. Didn't Scott try to sell a little boot to f...

Re: Missing friends
That's too bad. I left my condolences on the obituary site.
By the way, Larry, you ever hear from Ron Bishop anymore? I can't remember how long ago it was that he called me, but he didn't sound all that good.

Re: More archival scans
