Once upon a time

There was a camera shop where camera lovers could always have

pleasant moment. But, sad to say, the shop was closed in the

disgusting digital waves. Beloved film cameras, gentle and

professional shop keepers, comfortable chat with them...all gone

away. This I found recently from my film stock. A senior shop keeper

taken as a test of uncoupled rangefinder of old Ikonta B.

I know this guy. He is in my home town in Tennessee U.S.A. Same shop, same clutter, same counter, same shirt!

Great exposure and range from black to white. Enjoy the old days.

Thank you, Joe. I was surprised by your comment as I took it at first as if he is really in Tennessee. He had been recieving foreigners to arrange tax free shopping in English. It's a regret that he had to retire in the recession of camera business.

Yes, I am enjoying old days. Please visit my other photos, 2/3 of them are taken by vintage cameras. This photo is the only one medium format and this camera (1954-56) may be the youngest in this folder.
