W-Nikkor C 3.5cm f/1.8 Photos!

Thanks Erik! That's an interesting idea indeed regarding the book. I'll keep shooting for a bit and see if I can get enough material for one. Meanwhile here's a few more photos taken at Noge-cho in Yokohama, all snapped with an LTM W-Nikkor 35/1.8 on a Leica IIIf, and mostly at 1/25 and f/2 from memory.

I didn't adjust the finder as such. The right edge of the frame was getting slightly cut off so I adjusted the camera's accessory shoe to point as far to the left as possible on the camera (within the limit of the four screws that hold it in place) and then shimmed the foot of the finder to make the finder point as far to the left as possible in the accessory shoe using the slight amount of play of the foot of the finder in the accessory shoe. These two very minor adjustments added up to make the framing quite accurate.
 
Great photos Jon, you certainly should consider compiling a book. You're also making me miss the place already.
And ingenious finessing of your accessory viewfinder!

Xi'an, China - these street cleaners spiked up the little boy's hair, gave him a straw broom, and then let him go for it.
