Taken at the Fort Worth, Texas water gardens. Kodak Retina IIa on HP-5 film. Too bad swimming is not allowed. It was hot!!

I like this photo. It also has a 'old' feel to it that I can't really explain. What is the lens on this IIa, if you don't mind?

The IIa had either a Schneider-Kreuznach f/2.0 Xenon or a Rodenstock f/2.0 Heligon. Most are seen with the Xenon.
