Taken the day before yesterday in a 'donga!' The Aussies here will probably know what a donga is ... the rest of you will have to guess! :D

It's actually a small demountable building ... they use them on construction sites etc ... about the size of a shipping container!

For some strange reason there's one on the acreage property I rent ... the white ants are systematically eating all the timber out of it. I think someone was living in it at some stage and it has this ratty old mirror hanging on the wall! :D

Thank you so much Helen ... you're a peach! (where have we heard that before?) :p

Almost ready to seriously do the Sonnar thing any day now... maybe on the weekend!

The lens on the Nikon SLR in the selfie is a recently aquired 50mm Planar f1.4 ... that was around f8 from memory where it's hellishly sharp. Wide open it's just plain gorgeous and worthy of it's Zeiss heritage.

I'm seriously starting to like Zeiss glass Helen ... it has something very special!

In Africa it's what our 4x4s used to get stuck in. Many a night spent in the bush with just your Landcruiser for company...

Moskva -2 , while restoring the old Morris Minor back in 2008


I meant to mention before ... this is fabulous ... love the flare from the lens!

My mom had a Morris Minor for many years that I constantly fiddled with as an apprentice motor mechanic in my early teens. From memory I fitted twin inch and a quarter SU's to it, a 3/4 race camshaft with a shaved head and a sporty exhuast system. The guys at the local garage were fascinated when she drove in with the lumpy idle and they lifted the bonnet to check her oil for her and saw the SU's :D
