Sunday walk with my Retina 1B (019) with Schneider Xenar 5 cm 2.8

Took my 45 years old Retina IB and a roll of BW400CN out for a walk this Sunday. This little old machine with the 2.8 Xenar is just fascinating, and the results beats my daughter's US$500 digital camera.

Cheer!

I HATE the way yahoo prevents you getting out with the back button.

Whatever problems you have with uploading pics, the Xenars on the post-war Retinas are excellent lenses. I was amazed when I shot the first roll with my EUR 10 Retina (in need of severe repair, struts were misbent and shutter working occasionally).
