Very nice. I like the glasses!
 
I'm sure that it is the 90mm Color Heliar. Interested to hear how you liked it. Oh, and are you going to give it back to Scott?
 
It's the stock Heliar 80mm/f3.5 - no choice there!! Tony - I really liked the modern features: lens sharpness and metering, but in the end, I didn't "love" the camera like I do my Rolleiflex, or even my GW680III (which is similar but doesn't fold - making it kind of MASSIVE to carry around). In this pic, it was weird using a rangefinder for studio portraits... but golly is the negative sharp!!

Marc!
 
Marc, I was wondering only yesterday, who had the camera at the moment, obviously you do, just across town. I sort of agree with your not loving the camera bit, although the negatives I have from it are blindingly sharp also.

Regarding the photograph above, reminds me of Thunderbirds are Go, with "Brains" glasses being worn by one of your subjects.

I myself wear large glasses, so I know how good they are to see with, plus I also know how often people ask me why I'm wearing my grandfathers glasses.

Mick.
 
Mick, I had the camera in August - only got 'round to processing (or starting to process, more accurately) the film this week, on account of house moving... So, I think I was second last on the camera's big adventure - it's probably back with Scott by now.

Marc!
