The sun came out

[Gene Em]

<p>So did my <a href="http://westfordcomp.com/classics/contaxIIIa/may2011/index.html">Contax</a>.</p>

<p>And thanks for that - little sun for us here.<br>

The greens sure do show up. Like the effect.</p>

<p>The photos and the Contax make me green with envy. </p>

<p><em>green with envy.</em></p>

<p>*Groan*<em><br /></em></p>

<p>+1 for the groan... but also +1 for the source of that groan, I have to admit the pun is very fitting:)<br>

Its been raining like mad here, but when the sun does come out, the world looks like it got a fresh wet coat of paint:)</p>

<p>Green with a vengeance, more "Grown" than "Groan"...Fine pics,<strong> Gene</strong>; must be spring in your part of the world!</p>

<p>My father bought a second hand Contax IIIa with pre-war Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm f2 collapsible lens, along with a Nikon 13.5cm f3.5 telephoto lens, in 1958 and began shooting Kodachrome 35mm slide film with it. I have his slides, they are gorgeous. He used the Contax until 1969 when he bought his black Nikon F with FTn meter prism. Unfortunately I sold the Contax and 5cm lens in the 1990s to fund the purchase of a medium format SLR camera.</p>

<p>Gene, I am red-green color blind (kept me out of pilot training) but even I can appreciate the lovely greens in your pics. I have a Contax IIa and I intend to be buried with it. I know it will last forever and hope some of that mojo rubs off on me.</p>

Great pictures, Gene. It's definitely green, that's for sure! I mean really bright vivid green! All that rain apparently helped. It's been really overcast even where I live in southern California. It was cloudy and drizzling for like 2 weeks. It finally started to clear up over the past few days. I'll have some new pictures to post soon.

 

Kodak Gold 200 is one of my favorite films. It has a really nice warm look to it, which you can see in a few of your pictures.

 

And holy cow...that camera is awesome too!

<p>Funny, but I have never shot any colour with my Contax, looks to deliver the goods though. Spring is a magic time of year, we are just about to hit winter here. Looks like you get Autumn leaves in spring as well!</p>
