Looks like Brooklyn except the window gates are fancier. I would like it there.

Edinburgh? I was about to identify this as a USA inner city like Brooklyn or Baltimore, but the Blaupunkt box was out of place. And it is cleaner than American cities. Great texture. I thought it looked like medium format, and it was! Those big Texas Leicas are amazing, aren't they? Nice job.

@Saganich This is the side entrance to the Kings Theatre which was built in 1906 foundation stone laid by Andrew Carnegie.

@Kodachromeguy yes the Texas Leica is one impressive camera. Acros is pretty special.

I have only used Acros in 35mm, but recently a friend gave me a 5-pack box of Acros. I'll get out the old GW690II and try a roll. The GW690II also does a great job with Panatomic-X - fabulous stuff.

@Kodachromeguy I've only used Acros in 120. Never did try panatomic x. Can't seem to get it here in the UK.

Sadly, Kodak discontinued Panatomic-X film in the late 1980s. Another fantastic technology gone. Here are some notes:

@Kodachromeguy urban decay indeed.
