This summer has been hard for me. On July 5th I suddenly got double vision. Turns out that I have 4th Nerve Palsy in my right eye. I can see with either eye but not with both. Should go away on its own in 6 months. I wear a patch over one eye - either one doesn't matter which.
The last 3 years I been tired and did not know why. Turns out I had a leaky aorta heart valve and an aorta aneurysm. July 29th I had open heart surgery to fix both. All went well.
On August 19th I had a stoke numbing my right side. Went to rehab which helped immensely. Discharged August 26th 11:00 am. At 2:30PM the same day I was at the ER with abdominal pain. I had appendicitis. Surgery at 6:30PM when the doctors discovered my appendix had ruptured. I developed sepsis (bacteria in my blood). I am now recovering and doing well.
I am getting old projects done. I have been acquiring Canon RF lenses over the last 10 years and I have the 28mm f/3.5 Serenar, 35mm f/2 black, 50mm f/1.8 black. 50mm f/1.2, 85mm f/2 Serenar, 100mm f/3.5 black, and the 135mm f/3.5 black.
The 28mm sits on my M-4P when I don't need the speed of my Voigtlander 28mm f/1.9. The 50mm f/1.2, the 85mm f/2 Serenar, and the 135mm f/3.5 are paired with my M3. That leaves the 35mm/2, the 50mm f/1.8, and the 100mm f/3.5 without a home and my thoughts were that I would get a Canon P body for them.
Well I bought a Canon RF body but it was not a P. I got an nice Canon VI-T instead. Why?
Well, my other two screw mount L39 bodies are a Leica IF and a Leica IIIf. The If has the Voigtlander 15mm on it and the IIIF has the Voigtlander 21mm on it. The Canon body will use the 35mm, 50mm, & 100mm.
OK but why the VI-T trigger body rather than a P or a VI-L body? Well both of my Leica L39 bodies have Leicavits on them and I love using the the trigger advance. The VI-T pairs nicely with the IF & IIIF with Leicavits. So now I can take out my L39 bodies and have then all work the same.
First roll with the VI-T will be the 50mm f/1.8 with HP-5 of course. I can't wait!!!
