(first PAW submission in the list.)

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.
