I think the blur on the right side of the frame is due to film curl, and not to the lens…
I think this was shot with a new copy of the Nikon 75-150 E-Series that I picked up for a song around the time I bought the FG. It, like the camera, is an absolute beauty, in much better condition than the one I paid double for and that later became the beloved Zomb-E.

Not much to say here… just some rolls of fabric, not much more. Continue reading “LC-A week: 4”
Yes… it’s just a parking garage, the parking garage, actually: the one I park in 4-5 days per week, and that I’ve shared before, but always in the morning. This one, though, was taken in the afternoon. Continue reading “LC-A week: 3”
