Moment of truth. I won this lens three or so years ago when no one else bid. Spent all of this time trying to find a travel-friendly camera to use it with. Low bid the Ebony, but won it with an Apo-Symmar, an extension back and two Horseman backs so I can close this chapter and actually use it.

Good question. The A-S is bulky, but flawless and cost me zero by selling the lenses it came with. Ebony is more travel friendly, but no back movements except rise. If I could ever find the SW23S, I might consider selling both.

The best compliment I can give it so far is that everything is really smooth.

This is an arrival, but will probably lead to a couple of departures.

I may have done something bad and totally unnecessary.

Me neither and they made a 5x7 version? Gotta be a real back breaker.

Bougainvillea grows out of a window in Merida, Yucata, Mexico. The building is a peach color with a lime green base and white around the door and window.

A picture from Merida with Portra 160 and the Minolta 35-70. Had to get the obligatory bougainvillea shot.

Another of the old flower pics. I was using either a Horseman or Toyo D45M with a 6x9 back and probably Ektar. Looking back, I see the DOF issues, which I need to remember when I get set back up.

The side of a VW beetle that sits rusted in a forest. The original color looks forest green, but has given way to a whitish primer. The top is rusting and has dead leaves resting on it. In the background another green beetle can be seen.

Guess I'm still committed to posting the beetles. This one was in the fall with the Minolta Alpha 7 and the Zeiss 50 on Gold.

A group of tulips in a light box. The picture is taken from over head. It's in black and white. It creates an abstract mass of tulips that form one body.

Another flower flashback. I do remember this was FP4 and probably a Contax I was using back then.

There is a lost art in the closed sign. Now you have to go tug on the door before you see the tiny-print hours on there.

Rolleiflex with the Xenotar during lockdown. I've been thinking maybe of getting my flower game back.

It's a great place. I've had an amazing time both times I've visited.

Mangroves in Mexico. This was taken from a boat and isn't the sharpest, but I was enjoying the light. Minolta Alpha 7 and the Zeiss 50 on Gold converted to B&W.

It's such a weak argument (as someone who has been in political communications) that there must be an undisclosed financial tie there.

Thanks! It's always fun when the film decides to give you a way different look than the rest of the roll.

Gold looking very gold in Merida. Taken with the Minolta Maxxum and the 24mm Zeiss.

A white beetle taken at night on the streets of Merida, Yucatan. You can see the streetlights in the background. The wall is concrete behind the beetle. There is a rack on top of the car.

Wouldn't leave you all hanging for Beetle Friday. Taken with the Mamiya 7 on HP5.

A black-and-white picture of trees in fog. The trees are pines. The angle is looking slightly up, but not straight up. The trunks are limbless until the very top. It was taken on a Pentax 67 (or maybe Pentax 6x7?).

One from the did-I-post-it-or-not files. This is from a Pentax 67 on the coast of Georgia probably about seven years ago.
