I poked around and found 13 pictures that I am certain were taken with 
my Elmar 90 f/4.
I almost always shot it wide open, but I never wrote that kind of 
information down so I can't be sure.

Most of these pictures are from a trip I took to Paris in the summer of 
1972. This is because on that trip, I had only the Elmar 90 and a 35 
with me, and obviously none of these was taken with a 35. So I didn't 
have to stop and ponder what lens I had used.

All Tri-X at ASA400 (the ISO wasn't created for at least another 10 
years after these pictures were taken). Developed in HC-110 and scanned 
on a Nikon LS-4000.

It is unusual for me to post pictures of anything but my grandchildren, 
but I have done other stuff, too....

I tracked down the parents of the two boys shown in picture #7 and sent 
them each an 8x10 print. Back then it was common to use US paper sizes 
for European frames, but a decade later it was all A4.
