20 shots from the LC-A for no good reason

After 1/26 and 1/27 comes 1/28, with which has no obvious association with an obsolete film format, and so is just another Friday… While shooting some for 126 Day and 127 Day, I also happened to be testing an LC-A that I had taped closed and written ‘Stuck Shutter’ on some months or years ago, …
