21mm Super Angulon

[Glenn2]

I bought my 21mm Super Angulon new for $363 and that included the finder. That was way back in 1969 and it's still my favorite lens for close in street photography.
These shots from last India trip are with the SA on an M4, film is Fuji 400H & Tri-X.

Idol moment... ;-) The town of Mahabalipuram has a lot of stone carvers who use grinders to hew these statues out of massive hunks of granite. Think this may have been the owner relaxing during a day when everything was closed for a festival.

I had a hard time getting enough liquid to stay hydrated when temperatures got in the high thirties. Green coconuts are a safe liquid to consume so I made the coconut lady a regular stop.
As we chatted I got this photos.

i like 21mm generally. i like the (pre-asph) elmarit, too. but slowly i get something special about the super angulon - it's how it treats the light.

GREAT shots, Lem!
How do you cut the negatives with such narrow frame spacing?
