Hiking the Haselstein and the Center of Central Europe
On this hike I carried with me three cameras – maybe I should stay at one per hike only, as weight is always an issue. The film one was a Contax G2 with its Carl Zeiss Biogon 2.8/28mm attached.

Canon A-1 with FD 1.4/50mm S.S.C.
On we go with a Canon A-1, a Canon FD 1.4/50mm S.S.C. lens attached and an Agfa Vista 200 loaded. The next days hopefully will bring a little bit sunshine as it would make so much more fun. My first impression while playing around with the A-1 … solid … very solid. Somehow it reminds… Continue reading Canon A-1 with FD 1.4/50mm S.S.C.
