    SONY DSC by Nokton48, on Flickr

    initial test of Makiflex Digital Back! Auto Makiflex #1 150mm f5.6 chrome Schneider Symmar Auto Iris Plaubel Makiflex lens mount. Key Day F11 Easily hand holdable, great way to test all my lenses. Much fun ahead. If I want I can switch to film in 30 seconds, although the camera needs totally reset in that case. But so versatile.

    This is the handheld camera I used to photograph the digital tree photo just posted here. Great for testing and checking lenses, Makiflex Automatic #1 has the Makiflex Auto Iris 150mm Schneider Symmar. I have only seen this lens offered in Europe after decades of looking around. Anyways cock the aperture and it stops down just before the focal plane shutter goes off. Hence "Automatic". Loving the digital back, cost no money and works a treat. Fits interchangeably with my mini-me Peco Junior view cameras. "Poor Man's Medium Format Hand Holdable Digital with Moves".

    Thanks! I like how the trees bow in with the swing lens camera.

    I finally found a private taxi, he buys a new car every 2 years.

    She hired a Hindu GP Dr born and raised right here, he is very smart. I will consult first with him.

    Soon!
    Hope you get stitched up ok. Get well soon.

    How do you like the XX? That has been my main miniature film for decades. Formulated in 1958

    Excellent pano! Like it

    That's excellent, Bryan!

    Thanks you two, just saw this. Daniel, I like XX for its flexibility, especially in a camera with limited shutter speeds. I've shot 200 feet of a 400 foot can, and just spooled another 100 feet into my bulk loader. There may be a new source of pre-packaged XX soon, from a friend of mine, for those looking for b&w 35mm film...

    I posted a 4x5 shot earlier, but I actually had many cameras out with me this morning for the eclipse. I had my Nikon out taking lots of exposures every minute to do a composite. I've been waiting years for this opportunity and while the clouds did spoil some of it at the start, for the most part it worked out well:

    20 minutes later I was prepared by the same DR that told me wait for new Stents, 10 years prior.

    My stent may be failing OR I have Types of Syncope or Fainting

    So no more headstands! I could do them 20 years ago...

    I will order a new DIGI Blood Pres machine minutes from now

    Now, I know it is the American way to deny DEATH!!!

    However since I was very young, like age 5, I have predicted 3 score and 10

    I am 73 soon

    I am ready, I am happy, I have lived a very full life!

    Bernice, Thanks for your inquiry!
    I hope you are on the mend. I'm 65, I developed vertigo about 15 years ago. When it's bad it's a nightmare, I've fallen down in my house. A friend of ours had this happen in public, in California, at the beach the cops thought she was drunk. Finally she got help.
    Mine is positional.
    Damn, shame, keep your wounds clean!
    Best Wishes, Mike
