Just the shadows to break the perfect symmetry. Quite compelling.

Thanks, @grahamp Being a rangefinder it was new to me and took a while to get it right. Thankfully I took so darn long, the people who were looking out at the horizon had gone by the time I was ready to shoot.

The Bantam Special and Bantam RF have good lenses. Glad to see you've gotten some results from yours.

Gorgeous photograph; remarkable palette and balance. Quality of the light invokes Hopper, Hockney. Congrats!

Reminds me of an Alex Colville painting.

@Donald Qualls Slowly getting my head around it. Could probably do with a CLA as the viewfinder is a bit foggy, but overall, I'm absolutely loving it!!

@Willy T I admit I wasn't expecting much, but this shot had me hooked on using it even more. It captured it as I wanted it, so I guess I did something right with the new gear. Thank you.

FWIW, I've never respooled 135 into 828, I've always cut down 120 to width, trimmed the head and tail paper for length and applied a taper so they'll work with the spools -- and was able to get a full 120 length onto the 828 spools (barely), which gives 16 exposures by framing numbers, or 18 via the auto frame stop on my Bantam RF. Sadly, my Bantam RF shutter got sticky with several years in a box; I need to get it cleaned (by a better method than lighter fluid as I did when I got the camera).
