Great to see our photo of the month buzzing along. I've been collecting FL lenses and cleaning them up a bit. Resolution of the year #1: I'm going to get a Canon Pellet in good working condition. Resolution #2: I'm going out with the film Canons (F-1 and too many EFs) and shoot film! Yeah. Meanwhile here are my FL lenses, all 50s: 1.2, 1.8 and 3,5 macro. 167415723_ThreeCanonFLLenses.thumb.jpeg.b42bb77b91483c5d773e30e08b4f0a92.jpeg

Alex, be sure to look closely at the mirror of any Pellix you’re considering. It’s made of mylar which is soft and easily scratched. Many previous owners tried to clean them ruining the mirror in the process. There are plenty of mint-looking Pellix cameras out there with mirrors that are hopelessly scratched. And a scratched mirror means fuzzy pictures

Thanks for the tip, Jim!

Another in my series of sledding/tobogganing pics. This is an older pic, taken with my FTb and on Kodachrome film. Probably with the FD135/3.5. Kids were sliding down the hill on their butts.

Hoping to have some stuff to post up this week. I am struggling with the nearest film processor's work...his scans don't even capture the full image area and my careful cropping! And his prints look like they were rinsed in dirty dishwater. $$-=$%#%+!!!

 

It might be time to stop patronizing this outfit (through the local camera store) and just mail it to North Coast Photo in San Diego.
