<p>Here is a shot I took on a subway some 29 years ago with a Bronica SQ + 80/2.8 with 400 B/W film. </p><div></div>

<p>Here is one more. This was shot in 1995 a Fuji GS645S Professional Wide 60 + Fujinon 60/4.</p><div></div>

<p>Okay, one more with the Bronica SQ + 80/2.8...</p><div></div>

<p>Whoops that was Tmax developer in above shot.</p>

<p>Gateway issues, will try again.</p>

<p>An old pair of ski boots, I got rid of them... never without taking a couple pics before.</p><div></div>

Ditto + Rolleinar 2.</p>

<p>Had a training course to do in St. John's Newfounland, first week of April. Coming from Central Texas, I was shocked at the near freezing temperature, and frozen water on the ground. I had braved the TSA and Newark, NJ airport by hauling my prized Rolleiflex TLR along with me. Loaded up with HP5....was under-dressed! Not at all prepared for the cold. Anyhow, got a few pics in the hotel parking lot:</p>

<p>Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta A531 with 75/3.5 Jena Tessar on Verichrome Pan</p>

<p>Thank you E. Short!! Couldn't do it now.</p>

<p>Like the sign and snow, E. Short. It's cold here in Japan, but not that cold! </p>

<p>Really fantastic shots so far! Glad I discovered this thread.</p>

<p>Mamiya 7II, Velvia 100F, 43mm:</p>

<p><a title="Cephalonia, Avithos by Giovanni C., on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7360/8718634852_2a7d4c81d5_z.jpg" alt="Cephalonia, Avithos" width="640" height="508" /></a></p>

<p>Saracen Castle and Ampitheatre, Taormina, Sicily</p><div></div>

<p>Gorgeous shot, Giovanni.</p>

<p>Alex, what do you mean you, "couldn't do it now"? Because of more restrictive laws? I think all of your's and Clive F's photos of every life in Japan are wonderful.</p>

<p>Mamiya 645AFD, Kodak Proback DCS645M @ ISO 100, 55-110/4.5 AF zoom @ 55mm, f/11, 15 seconds. Cropped off ~ 30%.</p>

<p>Sort of a grab shot - camera on the floor (no tripod!), self-timer (no cable release!), family hissing at me to hurry up (no time to perfect the alignment!). </p>

<div></div>

<p>E. Short. Thanks so much for your kind words. The recent laws on street photography are vague and I believe can be unreasonably selective for that reason. Because of a rash of cellphone camera upskirters, people here are very uptight about any candid photography on trains. In a lot of ways Internet has made people nervous about their privacy. A Bonica clacking away on a subway just would not work now. A pity. I photograph a lot of cats these days. Maybe Clive has a take on all of this. </p>

<p>Dupe. Crateway issues.</p>

<p>Fotodiox P67 to Nikon adapter with P165mm F/4 and Nikon D300</p><div></div>

<p>Some really nice work so far. Also, I am surprised to see so many friends from the Leica/Rangefinder forum-- E., Alex, Ludwig, Michael. It's great to see all of you here!</p>
