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.

I didn’t know anything about these cameras prior to having purchased the first one. It is quite a nice camera and that 80/2 Noritar is highly regarded. We’ll see how this first roll does and - good news - Doug has agreed to work on the ‘parts’ camera. Happy days indeed.
