'Looks like the the Ikonta will do you proud, Fred. Each is quite sharp & colors look very natural. I have more respect now for the Portra film than I used to. I used some Fuji 400 & its great if you want heavy saturation & contrast. It also looks like the XP2 turned out very well. I did a couple rolls using D76 & was quite pleased. Contrats on the Ikonta it looks quite super (pun intended). All best to you & yours, Fred.

Thank you, HiHoSilver ! I'm quite satisfied - guess the Super Ikonta works like it should ...
Today I lost the tiny, little screw for fixing the film winding knob - I have to ask my repair man for a spare part.

Is that war specific or a conglomeration of different times? I'm glad to see I"m not by myself in being a roving cemetery shooter.

Hardly by yourself, Col.
BTW, Fred, that statue is impressive. I love the posture & expression of the statue - fitting for losing a loved one.

@ColColt : This is part of The Waldfriedhof Lauheide (Woodland cemetery Lauheide). It is the largest cemetery of the German city of Münster and contains also the Münster Heath War Cemetery.

I'd love to see it, in fact, I'd love to see Germany again with the cameras and knowledge I have now...beautiful country.
