So, I traded my M4P outfit even for a Hasselblad 503CX kit, but I still have my Leica lenses and my venerable beater IIIc. This week's PAW project photos were taken at the 154th annual Fryeburg Fair with a 1949 IIIc, an ancient Summarit and a roll of Fuji's forthcoming Pro160S (the NPS replacement.) As one point I noticed another father photographing his kids on the carousel but using a MarkII and a HUGE L lens and he was chimping fiercely. For fun I moved up next to him and began to shoot and look at the back of the IIIc after every shot as well. He noticed what I was doing and I jokingly had to explain to him that sadly the histogram on the IIIc doesn't give anywhere near as much detail as his MII but it has much better battery life! This started a great conversation that probably wouldn't have been as fun as if I had taken my D2h to the fair. -- Be well, Michael Eric Berube ________________________ WWW.GOODPHOTOS.COM WWW.ANOTHERMAINE.COM
