Camera and Coffee

A lovely morning here at Grey Owl. The big Lobsterfest is later today at the local hall, so we’re getting all geared up for the gastronomic mayhem.

I picked up my Norita yesterday from Douglas Banks after his stellar repair and service. I have a roll of Delta 100 in it right now so hopefully all will be okay. In the background is another Norita that was sold to me as a parts camera. After a bit of fiddling and cleaning wouldn’t you know it the darned thing works. So if Doug is willing to stomach another bit of torture I’ll see if he can perform a similar service on it.

Rounding out the ensemble here is one of my favourite light meters, the GE PR-1. A cup of President’s Choice Dark Roast in the mug and a copy of the Frontenac News for this morning’s reading. All in all a great way to start the weekend.

Today I was out with the beast; Nikon D300 with Tamron 18-200mm; Lavazza, Bialetti-made

Good to see a D300 in use. Nice one. And BTW, thanks to you I'm now fairly addicted to lime-infused coffee...

(Added later) Very true. Apology from me for having confused your cocoa with another poster's lime.

That's some heavy metal Vince!
 
I had a GF2 back in the day with a 14mm f2.5 pancake lens. I sold it about a year later when I got serious into film photography… and for some reason, no matter what camera or “professional” system I dive into, I always find myself reminiscing how much fun I had with my Lumix. Picked up a GF3 as they come cheap in the used market and paired it with a TTartisan 1.4.

Sometimes it’s the simplest of things that can give joy to someone and rekindle a flame.
