I honestly didn't realize it which is crazy. I thought my eyes were just tired at times. haha. I went to get my drivers license in Chile and it was so bad I thought the machine was broken. Then he made me do an eye chart on the wall and I could not see anything with that eye and that's when I realized. I should have known when my camera´s diopter was maxed out and it still wasn't that clear. Pretty dumb in hindsight. I still have one bad eye but no cataracts in that one.

The vicissitudes of age creep up on us slowly, stealthily, John. We fight a losing battle with Time, but we don't always have to just accept.
Congratulations on getting this done! 💪

How do you like it? I just ordered one myself the camera, not the lens. Just curious how it’s working for you.

Didn't need it....Until the price label convinced me otherwise....I'm weak to the labels....[The label says £10!]

Leon, I have one of those from back when they were labelled "Bogen". Fine tripod it is too--by any name.

I always loved the ad with Lester Bogen sitting on a 3040 tripod.

Twin cable release, for Visoflex use. I already have an unbranded release, but when you come across the pukka Leica item, you just have to buy it.

IIRC, the copy for the ad read something like "Before we let a Bogen tripod hold your camera it has to hold Lester Bogen". It was a pretty great ad campaign.

70 rolls Orwo NP100 under the Arista label. Nice little sale price there.
300' Foma 100
I needed the developer but the film was just to lock in prices before the tariff premium took effect. Never can have too much B&W film. Stuff lasts a long, long time.

Thanks for the heads up! 26 rolls just ordered.

If you home develop, the caps of the Aristapan cartridges are insanely hard to get off. After some trial and error, I now just leave a tongue of film exposed when I rewind, so I can pull it when placing on the development reels. Nice film though. Great pricing; almost as "cheap" as bulk loading.

Thanks for heads up, I do my own processing.

I do all my own film processing at home, and use the daylight loading Agfa and Lab Box developing tanks. So, for my purposes, I *always* leave a tongue of film leader out ... It's a much bigger pain to have to fish the leader back out of the cassette even if you aren't trying to load a spiral reel tank.
Once I pull the film from the camera, I bend the very end of the leader backwards sharply to indicate that the film is exposed and ready for processing. 🙂

The quality of Visoflex items is a high point. Do you think the original destination for your cable release might be 'scientific' rather than 'photographic'?

Pentax MX. Beautiful small camera.
