Saying hello with a Retina IIIS

Okay, now I'm also going to have to move to your hometown, and rent a place on the same floor. Great view from your kitchen! Beautiful shots around your town, and nice low-light work. I'm really enjoying this thread.

oof, that is a beauty of a camera. I just passed one of those up at a thrift store for $15. It had a sticky shutter and a few other issues that I wasn't confident in fixing myself, but I may be kicking myself now!

I bought another one with the same issues like you said and even the 2,8 50mm for 16,-€ and will send it to Chris in summer together with 2 of my Bessamatic.

This little beauty is the cam I´m searching for.
Light - easy to handle - good lenses - so sad that it was the last of the line.
Just imagine there would be a new Retina Xs to buy - maybe with TTL metering and a faster shutter - and a digital body too!
Oh God I don´t wanna think about it where Leica than would be!!!!

Thanks a lot!

I would move a bit more to the right - next house then you wouldn't get the Street lamp into your view like I have 😀

These are just test how this cam behaves - 2nd roll of film und first colour.
The low light shots where @ 1/15 2,8 just to see if you can do it handhold.
Normaly I´m a Kodak guy but I had a roll of Fuji Superia 200 around and gave him a try.
nice Film for low light but a daylight the colours are not mine!

yes it´s close to it!

Some of these pics have been done in "Obergurgl" which is very close to the "Similaun" glacier.
I´m in the lucky Situation that I life in a place like this and could travel it every day with my truck.

Thanks!
At the moment the Retina is loaded with a Porta 160.
The last EliteChrome rolls are in the freezer to save them up for special use.
