  1. <p>Yep Erik, I have heard of Altix before and wondered in what relations. So I started to look through my many bed rollers. Found an almost forgotten Altix V in original blue box and also a manual booklet (in German) and camera case. It has a very clean Tessar 2.8/50 and a Tempor Verschluß (shutter) seeming to operate well, even the longer times.<br>

    I remember I traded this camera with a friend in Dresden, DDR (East Germany) a few months before <em>die Mauer </em>was teared down. He got my Olympus viewfinder camera in exchange for this Altix and a Mimosa II, an ugly brick with a simpler Meyer triplet.<br>

    Believe me, now I promptly loaded the Altix with film and I am excited about the results. The camera is clean and nice except for the viewfinder which is almost useless and overgrown with dust. So I need to put on a separate viewfinder. I eagerly look forward to using my sleeping beauty for the first time when I am at my cottage this Easter. The Mimosa needs a complete renovation before I can try it. So it will continue to sleep under my bed. </p>

  2. <p>Hi Mark, I want to tell you that Norway has a very high quality of drinking water delivered from her water works. I have used tap water for my photo chemistry for decades and still do. Distilled water is delivered in N at medical drugstores (Apotek). It is NOK 17.00/$2.50 for 1/2 liter. Battery water is two kinds: Distilled water (at JULA ware house NOK 20.00/$3.50 a liter), or just filtered. Some friends of mine are enthusiastic users of filtered tap water using the "Anna / Brita Can", incorporating an activated carbon filter. (You'll find it on the net.) They have seen great improvements with their negatives. Bottle water from stores is not advised for photographic fluids. It contains several minerals and most often salts influencing your brew out of your control. </p>

     

  3. <p>Hi Frederick, I cannot give you any advice regarding the gear you bring with. With my Bessa I can only chose between 28 and 40 mm lenses. But I know the Norwegian fjord scapes can be great through a telephoto lens.<strong> </strong><br>

    <strong>Lillehammer:</strong> There is a large open air museum in a beautiful park. 200 real old buildings collected from SE Norway.<br>
