<p>Latest hack, Argus sandmar 100mm made by Enna of Munich for the Argus C3 I think. It has the neat inscription US Occupied Germany on it. Cool little lens for what it is and very clean, optically it's meh though. I used an ltm thread mount to Fuji x adapter paired with a glued Minolta sr aftermarket body cap. This was drilled in the center and had the lens pressure screwed into the soft body cap plastic. Works well, but as mentioned not a lens I would bring to anything important.</p><div></div>

<p>Developed my first roll from my excursion through Eastern Europe. My first day in Latvia I walked into a cafe where the owner had about 40 feds, zorkis etc on display. After talking he gave me a Smena 8M. It is inexpensivelly made but I read the lens on it is quite impressive. 21 million produced. The most in history for any single model even any single instamatic. Not meant to be a cheap camera but one for students and novices to learn. I found it to be the most convenient and fun camerra on this trip. Working backwards these are from Prague with Afga CT Precisa slide film 100 ASA. All shots I had to guesstimate distance and shoot on the run but I think this camera performs well</p><div></div>

<p>Prague but more to give example of camera</p><div></div>

<p>This statue was behind a cathedral in Prague. It is said if you touch the statue properly you will have good luck or have your wish granted etc. I heard Father Flanagan was very superstitious.</p><div></div>
