My contributions are scans I made this week from some old negatives. The first two were from my time as an in-house photographer at a charm school for girls. The last one I took when I was in high school. 

Leica R6 (1 & 2), Leicaflex SL (3)

My local churches have recommenced, post covid, 'men's breakfasts': an early morning get-together for mainly old, white, men to enjoy a bar-b-q'd breakfast, with eggs and beans (the first three are images of some of the participants) and listen to a homily (the last image - delivered by probably the youngest man in the group). Yes, these things happen in Oz's rural arcadia.  The images are from last Saturday's recommenced breakfast.  All with my monochrom and 75mm lens.  Regards, Arthur (apiarist1).

I've not been out shooting recently, so thought I'd go back to pics from earlier days. This one from 1959 with my first rangefinder camera, a Ricoh 500. I'd previously had a 35mm which only had a viewfinder, no rangefinder. The shot was in an open air market in Oaxaca, Mexico, Sunny 16, and I think it was on Plus-x developed in D76.

Very nice photos, Arthur. Seems you are having fun with your M10.

And that Leica Summicron temptation lens....is it on the way?

Yes, I see, Allen Herbert. I still liked the first version. And I did succumb to the summicron 75mm - a clinically exact lens, with little of the 'charm' and 'glow' (aka veiling flare and spherical aberration) of earlier lenses.  After I repair the debt, I'll start saving for a 35mm version, and that will do me. Till then, I'll use my zeiss, old summaron, and a jupiter (which looks like a biogon copy) and live with the vignetting. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1)

Arthur, I'm not big on sharp. It is about the photo for me...not anything else.,

However, your photos are not sharp, and neither are the majority of photos posted on this forum..

Sorry, but I do believe in honesty. I'm not a politician.

Its about a fast shutter speed.
