film is fun
So, I really only bought my Retina IIa because it looks cool. Then I actually used it and have rethought my whole abandonment of 35mm film (and carrying an Agfa Isolette III as my walk-around camera). The Schneider-Kreuznach Retina-Xenon 50/2 is awesomely sharp.
My frame counter is broken, and half the time I forget to manually adjust it which means the end of the roll comes as a complete surprise. I've read that it's easy to destroy the shutter cocking mechanism by attempting to force a tight lever, so I try to take care not to get too happy with it.
Anyway, this is clearly worthless without pics so:

Rail - Velvia 100

Bluebonnets - Velvia 100

Just a couch from my first test roll through the camera (Delta 100 in DD-X)
