Julio Fernandez Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Gotta love that 18-28, Julio. It (and other rebranded versions) performed well and were a good value. One could actually buy one new for less than the price of a prime ultrawide. Thanks Mike, this lens is a favorite for interiors with my K-mount bodies. It is actually Minolta rebranded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennisbrown Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 At age nearly 22, I was immortal, like most of my friends. No thought to the danger of "getting the shot". When I first got into 35mm photography, my budget was extremely limited, no money for Nikon or Pentax. However, a local camera store had a very nice Petri FT, with the 55mm f/1.8 lens. Meter worked nicely so I bought it for a very good price, < $50. I soon found a Vivitar 135mm f/3.5 and a Soligor 35mm f/3.5, both presets. I belonged to a volunteer rescue squad, and pretty soon I had photos of rescues, a few recovered bodies, and publicity shots for our quarterly publication. On May 5, 1969, a thunderous explosion went off just west of downtown Louisville. I hopped on the car, got there in a few minutes, and approached the scene. At the very outset, I got within a half-block of the fire. I managed to get off three frames before police and fire personnel hustled the lot of us away, about six blocks, too far to really see anything. The history of the Louisville Fire Department devotes several paragraphs on their web site: There is always the fear and risk of a fire at a large chemical company, especially one as large as the Ashland Chemical Company. Fear became reality on May 5, 1969. The origin of the fire is still unknown but the results were devastating. Bronoco, a subsidiary of Ashland, was located at 1315 W. Kentucky Street. The warehouse facility contained several storage tanks usually filled with several hundred thousand gallons of volatile and flammable chemicals. Consequently, the fire spread quickly and led to a chain of chemical explosions. Balls of fire spewed high into the air and an orange glow hovered over downtown Louisville. Over one hundred firemen and numerous policemen arrived on the scene, not only to fight the fire, but also to evacuate the nearby residents. However, the firemen were at a disadvantage because they were not sure about the type of chemicals contained in the tanks. The firemen proceeded to hook up the water hoses and spray the tanks in order to keep the blaze from spreading to the neighboring Porter Paint Plant, Superior Paper, Inc., and Distillers Grain, Inc. Since all of these companies contain highly flammable materials, the firemen had to be more cautious to prevent the fire from spreading. They would make progress only to be turned back as another tank exploded. Over two hundred and fifty firemen and twenty-five trucks arrived before the battle was over. They persisted to conquer the fire and didn't stop until early morning. Although Bronoco was destroyed, the firemen were able to prevent the fire from spreading. It was amazing that there were no civilian casualties and only four firemen were injured, one with a sprained back and others from smoke inhalation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
